Since 2021, I have shaped more than 2,000 top-team assessments and executive hiring recommendations for private equity firms, hedge funds, and Fortune 100 companies in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia.
Before that, I spent 20 years as a professor of English at Northwestern College, where I co-chaired the English Department and served as Director of General Education, Director of Academic Assessment, and Director of the Honors Program. I taught courses in argumentation and stylistics, wrote a German textbook, edited several Shakespeare plays, and published essays in international academic journals.
As an undergraduate at Princeton, I started in physics before shifting to literature and music, winning the Class of 1860 Prize in the English Department and the Junior Paper Award in the German Department. I earned my PhD in English with honors from Vanderbilt University.
I have also served as marketing director for a Caribbean villa resort, trained and worked as an accountant, and founded a hand-tool studio building luxury mobile apartments in Sprinter vans.
I enjoy hiking and photographing the Colorado Plateau with my Cavalier spaniel Lady.
