I’m the Director of Marketing & Communications at Weston Theater Company and the creator of AOi.

I love box puzzles, ciphers, and card games. I think close-up magic is cool. I’m always piecing things together; finding new angles.

I’m working on this AOi project because I’ve seen first-hand how AI can help build capacity and business intelligence at under-resourced organizations.

To that end, the performing arts industry, at large, has a capacity problem and; whether short on resources, knowledge, or time; are slow adopters of new technologies. And here we are; AI providing a competitive, capacity-building edge, and moving at a rapid pace. It’s time for arts orgs to level up.

AI, to me, is another puzzle, some of the pieces of which I share here. I believe that when used right, AI can turn arts leaders and organizations into smarter, sharper, more efficient versions of themselves.
