I help organizations build the social capital they need to function and grow.

My life’s work is helping people and institutions solve the "crisis of disconnection" with infrastructure that builds relationships on purpose.

the problem:

Not Enough Social Capital

We’re in a moment of widespread disconnection — and it’s not just societal.

Many organizations and businesses struggle with something deeper: they are so consumed with tending to their products or services that they've become disconnected from the communities they depend on.

The problem is this disconnection: not enough relationships, not enough trust, not enough flow (the ease with which people, opportunities, and trust move through a system).

That gap creates downstream problems:

Recruiting becomes expensive and hit-or-miss.
Advertising starts to feel like shouting into a void.
Community engagement doesn’t stick.
Partnerships stall after the first handshake.

The usual response? Spend more money on marketing firms, ad campaigns, or headhunters. But those are last-minute fixes for a long-term issue. They’re costly and impersonal — and they often make the problem worse. Because when people feel like targets, not partners, they step back.

This isn’t a crisis of strategy. It’s a crisis of connection.

my work:

Building Connection Infrastructure

My life’s work is helping people and institutions solve this crisis of disconnection with infrastructure that builds relationships on purpose.

I design and run systems that help organizations build the social capital they need to function and grow. Not just goodwill, but relationships with utility, depth, and scale. Relationships that are real, reciprocal, and ready before you need them.

This is what that looks like in practice:

Direct, intentional outreach that identifies and invites aligned people into the work – residents, leaders, partners, or participants
Structured conversations—usually small-group and Zoom-based—that build trust quickly and leave everyone ready for next steps
Matchmaking systems that connect people with each other and with resources across silos
Coalition design that makes the work sustainable, with clear roles, shared purpose, and real accountability
Support for businesses and organizations to move from transactional engagement to relationship-centered connection

These systems create alignment, clarity, and momentum. They make it easier to find the right people, stay connected across time, and move together toward something that matters.
