Grown-Up Club
Founded in 2013, Grown-Up Club was a monthly activities group for offbeat adults. Along with my two GUC Co-owners/Captains, I helped organize interactive events that helped inject fun and adventure back into adult life. Think of it like a grown-up version of an after-school club, except with less acne and more unwanted body hair.
A few of our most popular events included the Casual Science Fair, an adult science fair complete with triptych poster boards and prizes; The Comedy Exchange, a standup comedy event with a twist; and The Singles Exchange, a non-traditional matchmaking event with PowerPoint presentations.

Pizza Camp
Founded in 2014 by Paige Guggemos and Chris Cloud, Pizza Camp was an overnight retreat for pizza-loving adults held in the rustic Baker Near-Wilderness Settlement. I helped produce three of Pizza Camp’s amazing five year run, including creating and running programming and entertainment, and serving as a camp counselor.

Paper Darts
Founded in 2009 by myself and two friends, Paper Darts was a digital and print literary and arts magazine. Over the course of its decade-long run, Paper Darts published the work of hundreds of local and international writers and artists, as well as one book and eight print issues. During my three year tenure as Editorial Director, I also organized, produced, and hosted all of our events.
