The future belongs to brands that own attention — not rent it.

I’ve spent 20+ years across television, advertising, branded content, and podcasting — for networks, studios, brands, and some of the biggest names in entertainment. And I’ve spent most weekends of those years getting out: mountains, deserts, coastlines, a stubborn old ’87 Vanagon that starts most of the time.

For a long time, those two parts of my life stayed separate. Trailhead is where they finally meet.

I know how to find the story beneath the surface — the human reason something matters. And the outdoor world is full of those stories: people chasing freedom, solitude, challenge, recovery, connection, and a deeper relationship with the places that shape them.

Too often, those stories get reduced to campaigns that disappear in a quarter. But the brands that last are the ones people feel something for. They stand for more than product. They reflect a way of moving through the world.

I want to help outdoor brands tell stories that earn trust, create belonging, and give people a reason to care — not just buy.

Trailhead exists to help the people and brands who live these stories build something they keep.
