In 2016, I founded Scribe, a financial content agency. In 2020, Scribe was acquired by Vested, a fully-integrated global media company at the forefront of financial communications and PR. As Scribe's CEO, I oversaw day-to-day operations, focused on growth initiatives, and worked directly with clients big and small.
As for media appearances, I've been a guest contributor and on-air expert for The Huffington Post and Cheddar TV. I've led panels, sessions, and hosted keynote events for FinCon, Lendit Fintech, and Financial Narrative. My speaking topics are usually focused on fintech, content marketing, entrepreneurship, career transitions, remote work, and general lifestyle hacks.
As a published author, my first book "The Credit Cleanup Book" (Praeger) was published in 2014. Its sequel, "Credit Score Hacks" (Scribe) was released in September 2017, and hit #1 on two Amazon Bestseller lists in its first week of release. My fiction book titled "The First Time" (Scribe), was released in February 2017 and hit 3 Top 10 Amazon bestseller romance lists.
In a prior life I worked in finance, specifically in consumer lending, first for a Fortune 250 company, and later as a VP in lending at one of the nation's largest banks (now Wells Fargo). I then pivoted to my passion for broadcast journalism and completed stints at CNBC and Bloomberg TV.
Before launching Scribe, I was a travel blogger, online media contributor, and content manager at Betterment, the largest independent wealth robo-advisor.
