For more than 20 years I have spearheaded the fan engagement and social media channels for the iconic pop band Duran Duran. I manage all content and strategy for the band’s Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as their YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Tumblr and Pinterest pages. My efforts have generated millions of free online impressions for the band and served as the cornerstone of their ongoing cultural marketing program. In today's marketplace, if you're not paying attention to your brand's social media, then you're missing important dialogue and potential opportunities. Other clients I've assisted with social media include CAKE, Mother Dirt, Concord Films, soul legend Ellis Hall, PropagandaGEM and more.

My other specialty, and early love of mine, is writing. I have written media materials for Margaret Cho, Def Leppard, Morrissey, Tori Amos, Robert Plant, Play MPE, Section 101 and more. In addition, I provide content for several entertainment based companies.

In 2020 I began co-hosting WHOOOSH!, a weekly radio show with Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon. WHOOOSH!, which started off on Duran Duran's website, later moved to Spotify and now airs every Wednesday evening at 9pm ET on Sirius XM Radio's VOLUME Station channel 106, with re-airs over the weekend.
