About
I build systems for journalism that has to move.
I came up through newsroom work, where every good idea eventually has to survive the shift, the rundown, the deadline, the handoff, the missing asset, the breaking story, and the people trying to make it all hold together.
That shaped how I lead.
I care about strategy, but I care more about whether strategy can function inside the work.
Short bio
Modular content, streaming workflow, AI-enabled editorial operations.
I am a media transformation leader focused on modular content, streaming workflow, and AI-enabled newsroom operations.
At Scripps News, I lead work that helps national and local teams create, adapt, and distribute journalism across modern platforms. My focus is the operating layer behind the story: the workflows, formats, standards, tools, and team structures that determine whether strong editorial work can scale.
My career has moved through newsroom production, streaming, team leadership, operational design, and transformation work. Across those roles, one pattern has become clear: news organizations do not only need better ideas. They need better systems for turning those ideas into repeatable, useful, trusted work.
That is where I spend most of my energy.
What shaped my point of view
Newsroom problems are rarely just content problems.
A weak segment may point to a planning issue. A missed update may point to a workflow issue. A burned-out team may point to an operating model issue. A failed transformation may point to a communication issue disguised as a technology issue.
The visible problem is often only the surface.
That is why I focus on the system underneath: how the work is planned, produced, packaged, distributed, governed, and improved.
The media environment changed faster than many newsroom operating models did. My work is about closing that gap without losing the judgment, standards, and public-service purpose that make journalism matter in the first place.
Current focus
A few connected questions.
My current work centers on:
Question 01
Streaming operating models
How should newsrooms create content for streaming environments instead of retrofitting broadcast habits?
Question 02
Modular content value
How can modular content make journalism more flexible, useful, and valuable across platforms?
Question 03
Responsible AI in newsroom work
How can AI reduce friction in newsroom work without weakening accuracy, accountability, or human judgment?
Question 04
Transformation that lands
How do leaders move teams through transformation without drowning them in abstraction?
These questions sit at the center of my role at Scripps News and my graduate work in Artificial Intelligence Management at Georgetown University.
Leadership philosophy
Transformation is about making the work clearer.
I do not think transformation is about making people chase the newest tool.
It is about making the work clearer.
Clearer systems. Clearer expectations. Clearer handoffs. Clearer standards. Clearer reasons for why the work is changing in the first place.
The best transformation work does not make people feel impressed by the strategy. It makes them feel less confused by the work.
That is the kind of leadership I am interested in.
AI philosophy
AI is part of the future of journalism, but it is not the whole future.
The real question is not whether AI can generate, summarize, draft, or automate. It can.
The harder question is how news organizations design systems that use AI responsibly while protecting accuracy, context, trust, and human accountability.
That is where my interest in AI lives: not as novelty, but as operating infrastructure that has to be governed, tested, and integrated into real work.
Personal note
Structure and imagination.
I am drawn to work that combines structure and imagination.
Journalism needs both. AI needs both. Leadership needs both.
A system without imagination becomes rigid. Imagination without a system becomes chaos.
My best work lives where a complicated thing starts to become understandable, usable, and worth building.
