Strategic communications, community relations, Indigenous engagement and storytelling. I help organizations strengthen relationships, build trust, and create lasting impact through authentic storytelling, meaningful engagement and transparent communication.

Commercial fishing, newsrooms, film crews, a production company, an advisory practice, a board chairmanship. An unusual route, and the reason I see what I see.

Read →I am Tlingit, Teikweidí clan, Eagle, Brown Bear house. I was raised in Yakutat and Kodiak and have raised my family in Kirkland, Washington.
I am a strategic communications professional, storyteller, and community engagement practitioner. My career spans Indigenous governance, Alaska Native corporations, public affairs, media production, government relations, nonprofit leadership and corporate communications.
I have worked with shareholders, tribal citizens, elected officials, board members, executives, nonprofit leaders, media organizations and community stakeholders. I help tell their story with clarity and emotion. In public relations lingo, we call this strategic engagement and narrative clarity.
Interviewed by Yancey Strickler
I was honored to be interviewed by Yancey Strickler. Yancey is the cofounder of Kickstarter, an author and an entrepreneur, and he works on various projects around supporting a creative life.
We discussed my work as a storyteller and the importance of Indigenous people telling their own stories to challenge stereotypes, express the complexity of our communities and build understanding.
