As a Legal Storyteller, I bridge the gap between the legal and media worlds, using my background in investigative journalism and video production to deliver powerful narratives for attorneys and their clients. My work centers on crafting settlement documentaries, day-in-the-life videos, and demand videos—stories that go beyond mere facts to resonate with the human experience. I’ve seen firsthand the impact of strategic storytelling on legal outcomes, and I’m committed to helping attorneys communicate their cases in ways that drive results. A former professional screenwriter with nearly two decades of investigative reporting and producing experience, including three Emmy nominations, I bring a high standard of journalism and a creative, impactful approach to every project. My process is research-driven: I dig deep through public records, analyze court documents, and engage with the finer details to uncover elements that give each story its fullest context. Whether it’s uncovering OSHA reports, logging body-worn camera footage, or bringing the voices of families to life, I believe every narrative should be built on a foundation of truth and emotional clarity. I currently lead Clear Eyed Media, specializing in legal media services and leveraging my experience to transform complex legal stories into compelling, accessible content. From wrongful death cases to personal injury, I’m dedicated to creating narratives that support attorneys in securing fair settlements for their clients. I aim to support legal professionals with media that not only informs but also resonates with adjusters, defendants, and sometimes even juries. I also run Tribute Video Pro, producing personalized tribute videos celebrating lives and moments worth remembering. This work has allowed me to bring a similar storytelling approach to personal occasions, blending professional videography with an intimate look at individuals’ lives. Each project reminds me of storytelling's power to connect and convey meaning, whether in a legal context or a personal one. Driven by a belief in the power of story to influence and inspire, I’m here to help attorneys and clients present their cases authentically and precisely. I see storytelling as an essential tool for justice and creating lasting impact.

I’m an attorney focused on federal sector employment law and military service employment protections. I represent federal employees and applicants in EEO matters (discrimination, retaliation, harassment), Rehabilitation Act reasonable accommodation, MSPB adverse action/performance appeals, OSC whistleblower cases, and USERRA (Guard/Reserve) rights. Reporters use me for clear, on-record explanations that turn dense rules into plain English, with practical examples and cites you can verify. I’m available for quick quotes, deeper background, or walking through timelines and decision trees. I also have 6+ years experience litigating employment defense on behalf of the U.S. Government through three presidential administrations. I also track government-wide workforce policy from OPM and OMB—telework/RTO directives, performance management (PIPs), suitability/fitness, locality pay/duty station questions, RIF/realignments, and hiring authorities—so I can connect individual cases to system level changes. On the aviation side, I help pilots and operators navigate FAA and NTSB issues, aircraft purchase/sale pitfalls, and certificate or enforcement matters. Selected story angles I can speak to: - Federal EEO 101 (and what most sources miss): counseling vs. complaint, acceptance/dismissal, investigations, and remedies—plus how deadlines quietly decide outcomes. - Reasonable accommodation in mission critical roles: light duty, telework, medical documentation, “undue hardship,” and how to avoid retaliatory optics. - MSPB after the backlog era: appeal rights, probationary myths, settlement dynamics, and fee-shifting realities. - Whistleblower cases & PPPs: what counts as protected disclosure, typical retaliation patterns, and OSC vs. agency IG pathways. - USERRA: reemployment after orders, seniority/benefits accrual, scheduling drill/AT, and common agency missteps. - Telework/RTO as a legal and policy question: duty station, locality pay, reasonable accommodation intersections, and how agencies document “business need.” - Managing out via PIPs: when a PIP is pretext, how performance elements are written, and the evidence agencies actually need. - Suitability/fitness and (separately) security clearance issues: the boundary with EEO rights and what employees should document from day one. - Remedies and real timelines: back pay, comp damages caps, attorney fees, and why “day in court” usually means ADR or settlement.

I am the founder and principal mediator of the San Diego Family Mediation Center. We are located in Del Mar, California at 445 Marine View Ave., Suite 305, Del Mar, CA 92014. Please visit me at www.SanDiegoFamilyMediation.com. My primary goal is to educate people of the benefits of mediation, not only in family law matters, but in all matters. I have been mediating divorces for over 17 years. I believe that families deserve more than family court can give them. Sure, divorce is a legal process, but it is also a family matter and should be treated as such. Too many professionals lose sight of the fact that each "side" is still part of a whole unit. One that will, more often than not, have to continue in a relationship together. This process MUST include empathy, understanding and clear communication. Without them, our clients suffer, and if our clients suffer, their children suffer more. Specialties: Family mediation, pre-marital & post-marital mediation & agreements, dissolution of both marital and non-marital relationships. Mediations are generally completed using only one mediator, however, team mediation will be provided upon request or when necessary.

I am an Institutional Debt Market Architect with more than 17 years of experience designing the valuation, liquidity, and recovery protocols that banks, credit unions, fintech lenders, and private credit funds rely on to make high-stakes decisions. I’ve advised on, analyzed, or helped broker over $100 billion in performing and non-performing receivables across consumer, commercial, auto, BNPL, mortgage, and specialty finance asset classes. My work sits at the intersection of portfolio valuation, lending risk, distressed-asset strategy, and AI-driven recovery intelligence. I help institutions understand the true condition of their receivables, uncover hidden risk, and translate complex credit dynamics into clear, actionable decisions. When lenders need to determine whether to hold, recover, restructure, or sell an asset, I’m the person they call. As Director of Portfolio Liquidity & Asset Disposition at Fitzgerald Advisors, I architect and execute loan-sale strategies, oversee due diligence, and structure NPL and charged-off debt transactions that maximize proceeds while maintaining regulatory integrity. I also build the technology that powers modern receivables strategy. I created Debt Catalyst, an AI-driven valuation and liquidation-curve engine used by professional debt buyers and investors. I developed Bank Watch Pro, a real-time intelligence platform that interprets FDIC and NCUA call-report data to identify institutional credit risk, NPL trends, charge-off exposure, and early-warning indicators. Across my ventures, I focus on one mission: turning distressed receivables, delinquency, and charge-offs into liquidity, clarity, and competitive advantage for financial institutions. I provide expert commentary on: Distressed portfolio valuation & credit-risk analysis NPL and charged-off debt sales Fintech lending trends & BNPL credit performance Bank & credit union financial health (FDIC/NCUA analytics) AI in collections, segmentation, and liquidation modeling Regulatory and compliance implications in debt markets I don’t follow the debt markets — I architect them. And I use that experience to help lenders, investors, and agencies make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.
