I am the Chief Experience Officer at the Peale in Baltimore, MD, based in the oldest museum building in America. I come to this position after 20 years of dual career paths, split between non-profit arts administration, and working in "the show business", traveling the country as a storyteller, magician, and speaker.  

For the past several years, I have shifted my energies to use storytelling to illuminate history. I recently served as guest curator at the Jewish Museum of Maryland for INESCAPABLE: The Life & Legacy of Harry Houdini, and also created HUMBUG: The Great P.T. Barnum Seance and Traveling Museum. In 2018, I completed construction on a 200-Year Time Machine, which I then used to offer 8 months of Time Travel Tours at The Peale, transporting visitors back to Rembrandt Peale's Study in the year 2818.

Quickly adapting our in-person programming to online, the Peale has seamlessly made the transition to virtual, with a strong focus on accesibility, including 360 video tours, virtual reality, and the recent launch of the Virtual Peale in Second Life.
