RISK. Culture. connection

I believe risk management and meaningful connections go hand in hand. In my professional time, I help organizations create better workplaces and cultures; But my passion lies in bringing professionals together and building relationships that last.

This site is where it all comes together: insights, events, and a growing network of people who know that business works best when it’s built on trust and community. I’m always open to speaking, collaborating with organizations on risk strategy, and bringing more people into the Connections Uncorked community.

risk. resilience. impact.

I’ve spent more than 15 years in risk and safety, helping organizations make sense of their exposures and turn risk management into a practical strategy. I’ve worked with owners, executives, and frontline leaders to improve workplace culture, reduce loss drivers, and strengthen the relationships that matter - especially between clients, brokers, and carriers.

I also speak at conferences and team events, sharing insights on safety leadership, risk strategy, culture, and the human behavior behind better decisions. My goal is always the same: make risk approachable, useful, and something leaders can act on immediately.

Underneath the technical side, I stay focused on people - how they show up, how they communicate, and how their decisions shape the story of an organization.

brewed perspectives

Brewed Perspectives is where I share conversations and reflections that connect real-world experience with practical insight. Sometimes that looks like a short written piece shaped over a cup of coffee. Other times it’s a recorded conversation with a professional whose work deserves more light.

I call those conversations The Connection Effect (Listen Here) — short, honest dialogues with people doing meaningful work in their fields. My goal is simple: highlight their expertise, spark new ideas, and give others a reason to reach out and connect with them.

Whether in writing or in conversation, this space is about taking risk, leadership, and culture out of the abstract and grounding them in real people and real stories.

If you’d like to join me for a future Connection Effect conversation, or if there’s someone you think the world should hear from, reach out and let’s explore it.

connections uncorked

I believe the best ideas (and opportunities) come from real connections. That’s why I started Connections Uncorked; a wine networking experience designed to bring professionals together across industries. It’s about conversations that spark collaboration, friendships, and maybe even your next big idea!

I believe in…

  • Leadership

    “True leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s asking the right questions and listening to the people who do.”

  • Risk Management

    “Good risk management is great collaboration with people who don’t do what you do.”

  • Connection

    “The strength of any organization comes from the connections it makes, because resilience is never built alone.”
