Philly is a special place. As Senior Web Content Manager at Visit Philadelphia, I get to show people why.

I’m one of the main editorial voices behind many (muchos) articles — all written to spark interest in Greater Philadelphia. I love highlighting local events and hidden gems, along with celebrating the people, businesses and neighborhoods that keep Philly thriving. 

Full disclaimer: I’m not a marketing guy. A South Philly native (born and raised), I ventured off into the Vermont wilderness for my BS, MS and MFA at Champlain College before moving to Manayunk in 2018. After bringing my non-profit, education and game design background to the Free Library of Philadelphia, I made the move to Visit Philadelphia, where I keep things fun and informative in equal measure.
