I was raised in Oklahoma City, attended college in Waco, Texas, and left my heart in New York City, where I established my professional identity. My three hometowns experienced heartbreak and fear previously unknown on a widespread scale, experiences that undeniably shaped my own story and the stories I've spent a lifetime telling.
My work investigates the leadership experiences of average people who encounter worst-case scenarios — the high-profile violence, terrorism, accidents, and natural disasters that instantly create a new history. In uncovering the lived experiences of those who encountered our worst days, their stories ultimately point to one enduring truth—a deep hurt and a magnificent hope.
