On stages,
quietly.
Invited to speak with founders, educators, historians, and creative leaders — on building thoughtfully, teaching well, and connecting identity to place.
Things I love to talk about.
01
Entrepreneurship & Startup Building.
The founder story behind CastReady — thesis, early customers, and building a company with restraint.
02
AI & the Future of Creative Education.
Where applied AI meets creative training, representation, and access — practical uses and ethical guardrails.
03
The Business of the Entertainment Industry.
Casting, representation, and the economics of a creative career — how the pipeline actually works.
04
Travel & Hospitality.
Intentional travel design, the future of hospitality, and how heritage and place reshape the way people move through the world.
05
Genealogy, Family History & Historical Research.
Seventeen-plus generations of research: methodology, archives, and the discipline of chasing a name across centuries.
06
Archives, Museums & Public History.
Slavery in New England, historical interpretation, and community education — lessons from the Royall House board.
07
Innovation in Education & Youth Development.
Screen-free, AI-ready: reimagining how young people are trained for creative careers.
