Bridging Entertainment, Marketing & AI for Creative Industries
Entertainment business professor, music industry professional, and generative AI strategist with 20+ years bridging branding, multimedia production, and higher education with emerging technology.
About
Two decades of building brands, communities, and creative careers — now enhanced with AI.
I'm an entertainment business professional, professor, and applied generative AI strategist based in Oak Park, IL. My work spans artist development, multimedia production, marketing, and nonprofit leadership — from production support at Lollapalooza to spearheading the first-ever Sprite Mixtape Campaign featuring Grammy-winner Common.
Today I focus on bridging proven creative-industry workflows with cutting-edge AI — agentic frameworks, prompt engineering, and AI governance — to help creators and organizations work smarter without losing their voice.
