Start with the conversation.
You don't need a polished proposal or even a perfectly formed idea. If something in my work connects with what you're trying to accomplish, tell me about it.
“I have an idea and I think you might be the right person” is a perfectly good first email.
What are you trying to make happen?
My work crosses several worlds. Starting with the one that brought you here helps me understand how I can be useful.
Speaking, Keynotes & Media
Keynotes, conferences, panels, podcasts, interviews, training or other opportunities to bring a conversation to your audience.
Writing & Commentary
Interviews, contributed writing, expert commentary, media requests or collaboration around an idea.
Food & Agriculture
Meat science, processing, markets, strategy, technical education, food systems, biotechnology or agricultural policy.
Faith, Advocacy & Community
Preaching, teaching, Food Theology, recovery, survivor advocacy, disability and caregiver communities or other service-oriented work.
Something Else?
Some of the best conversations don't fit neatly into a category. Like me. That's kind of the point of this website.
Tell me a little about it.
Give me enough context to understand what you're considering. I'll take it from there.
Looking for a speaker?
If you're reaching out about an event, include whatever you already know — organization or event, audience, approximate size, date, location or format, and what you hope the audience takes away. If a budget or honorarium has already been established, including that is helpful too.
Let's find the intersection.
Food. Leadership. Faith. Advocacy. Recovery. Agriculture. Family. Sometimes the most interesting work begins when the conversation crosses the lines between them.
