Welcome
I work at the intersection of uncertainty, identity, and human connection.
Across families, communities, and institutions, I help people build the capacity to respond, not react, to the moments that matter. My work blends applied improvisation, narrative identity, developmental insight, and futures thinking to create spaces where people can think more clearly, relate more honestly, and act with greater intention.
Whether I am working with a parent navigating daily friction, a writer unlocking creative flow, or a group facing complex change, the aim is the same: strengthen the human systems that allow people to adapt, connect, and move forward.
I believe the future is not something we enter. It is something we practice. That practice begins in how we show up with each other now.
A little about me
I am a facilitator, author, improviser, and advisor whose work spans both deeply personal and highly complex environments.
My professional path has taken me through international security, geopolitical analysis, and strategic foresight, as well as into classrooms, workshops, and family systems. I have worked in environments defined by uncertainty, both global and intimate, and that dual perspective shapes everything I do.
What I have seen consistently is this. People do not grow because they are given better answers. They grow when they are given better ways to relate to themselves, to others, and to the unknown.
My work is grounded, relational, and practical. I do not focus on performance or perfection. I focus on helping people become more capable in real moments, especially the unscripted ones.
My Work
I design experiences, frameworks, and creative work that help people build adaptive capability through connection.
This takes different forms depending on the context:
Improv Your Parenting: A relational framework that helps parents meet everyday challenges with flexibility, clarity, and connection rather than control.
Qi-Prov: A somatic practice integrating breath, movement, and improvisation to reconnect people with embodied awareness and presence.
Improv for Writers: Workshops that unlock creative flow by engaging the body, voice, and imagination together.
Brag and Tag: A community practice that builds belonging and confidence through shared recognition and celebration.
Threads of The War: A series of historical flash fiction exploring the human experience within what I call "The 20th Century’s War." These stories focus on identity, moral tension, and lived experience under pressure.
Across all this work, the through-line is consistent: Helping people become more responsive, more connected, and more capable in the moments that shape their lives.
Improv Your Parenting
Improv Your Parenting is both a book and a practical framework for families who want to move beyond rigid scripts and reactive patterns.
It integrates improvisation, developmental science, and narrative psychology to help parents engage with their children, and themselves, with greater presence and flexibility.
Inside, you will learn how to:
Navigate big emotions without escalation
Reduce daily friction through play and connection
Set boundaries that hold without harm
Repair effectively after conflict
Build a creative, resilient home culture
Support your child’s evolving identity
Prepare your family for an uncertain future
This is not about getting parenting right. It is about becoming more capable in real time.

Threads of The War
Threads of The War is my series of historical flash fiction centered on the human dimension of 20th century conflict.
Each piece focuses on an individual moment: a decision, a loss, a connection, or a fracture. From there, it explores how larger forces shape personal identity and moral experience.
These are not stories about battles. They are stories about people, how they endure, how they change, and how they carry meaning forward under pressure.
The series reflects a central belief in all my work. Understanding the human experience, deeply and honestly, is essential to navigating both the past and the future.
Books
Speaking and Workshops
I design and lead workshops, talks, and facilitated experiences for groups ranging from families and educators to institutions and leadership teams.
Core areas include:
Improv based parenting and family systems
Adaptive leadership and decision making under uncertainty
Narrative identity and meaning making
Creative capability and embodied learning
Futures thinking and preparedness
Community building and relational resilience
Applied improvisation in organizational contexts
My sessions are interactive, grounded, and human centered. Participants do not just learn concepts. They practice new ways of thinking, relating, and responding.
The goal is not insight alone. The goal is usable capability.

WHY I WRite
A little about me:
Raised in California, Jeremy moved to the Washington, D.C. area at the age of 18 to attend university. Through education and luck, he became a Fulbright Scholar, a Presidential Management Fellow, and found ways to live and work across vast swaths of the world. Professionally, Jeremy helped remove unexploded ordnance from war-ravaged countries; stem the flow of the world's most dangerous weapons; and potentially reduced the likelihood of war between a couple of the world’s most powerful countries.
He lives in Ireland with his wife, son and daughter where he continues to work on preventing future war and warning the world about the human cost of violence. Learn more about my work.
