About
I've had the opportunity to work across business development, media, marketing, entrepreneurship, content creation, and leadership. While the industries have varied, the mission has remained the same — building relationships, creating opportunities, and helping organizations grow.
My professional journey has included building and scaling a nationally recognized television and digital media brand, developing strategic partnerships with leading national brands, leading business development initiatives that opened new markets and generated long-term customer relationships, producing content across television, streaming, podcasting, radio, and digital platforms, and helping businesses strengthen their brand presence, audience engagement, and revenue opportunities.
As Owner and Executive Producer of Heartland Waterfowl, Founder of Papa Ron Radio, and a longtime business development professional, I've spent my career helping brands connect with audiences and helping people connect with one another.
