I've always been drawn to work that matters—the kind of projects that make you think, "If we could just get the right partners behind this, imagine what's possible."

In 2023, I started Dancing Village because I wanted to spend my time helping more organizations reach that potential. Over 25 years — at National Geographic, Tribeca, and across dozens of initiatives — I've done exactly that, bringing in the partners and revenue that made the work possible.

I've also co-founded and built a nonprofit from the ground up — Rivertowns Village Green, which created The TaSH Farmers Market, recently voted the #1 farmers market in New York State. We created partnerships with local organizations to bring food assistance, education, and cultural events to our community — and the sponsors, funders and community support to make it all happen. I'm deeply proud of what we created — and it's proof of what's possible when you have a clear vision and bring the right people together around it.

Here's what I've learned: the best partnerships don't come from pitching your idea and hoping someone bites. They come from finding that sweet spot where everyone's goals genuinely intersect — what I like to call "the venn" — and building something together that works for everyone. Getting curious, listening, asking the right questions. People tell me that approach feels different.

If you're sitting on an idea that deserves ambitious partners, or you've got relationships that could become something bigger but aren't sure how to get there, let's talk. Let's see what we can build together.
