San Francisco Bay Area · Emcee & Benefit Auctioneer

The room only feels alive
if the mic does.

Twenty years on stage. A decade as the Voice of God for San Francisco's biggest events. And a background in nonprofit fundraising that means I understand the stakes behind the mic — not just the words on the page.

What I do

Four disciplines, one instinct for a room.

01

Emcee

Corporate events, conferences, and galas. I keep pace, protect the schedule, and read the room in real time — especially when the program runs long or the energy needs a jolt.

02

Benefit Auctioneer

Nonprofit fundraising experience means I understand donor psychology, not just paddle-raise mechanics. I protect your fundraising outcome while keeping the room warm.

The differentiator

I don't just read a script.

I spent years in nonprofit fundraising and financial advising before I spent them at the podium. That means I understand what a paddle-raise is actually doing to a room — the pacing, the psychology, the moment right before the big ask when energy either lands or leaks.

Bring me in, and your event doesn't just run smoothly. It lands.
