I’m a Narratologist. I founded Spatial Shift and created ShiftStory™ — a narrative pilgrimage for people standing at a threshold. I spent decades in the corporate world as a strategist and seller, moving over $1B in marketing solutions to the Global 1000. Then I walked away from the boardroom to pursue something deeper: the power of human narrative as a compass for change. What I saw, again and again, was this: smart, capable people losing connection with their own story. That insight became a calling. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with founders, executives, creatives, and catalysts to help them navigate not just what’s next — but who they’re becoming. My process blends strategic clarity with emotional resonance, shaped by a career that spans multiple industries, systems thinking, and a deep fascination with the poetics of becoming. I’m the co-author of Narrative Generation, a wine geek living in Napa, and the writer of Now New Next, a weekly meditation on momentum, meaning, and the long game. ShiftStory™ is the synthesis of everything I’ve lived, learned, and let go of. This isn’t a workshop. It’s a rite of passage. And I walk it with you, one story at a time.
