Connection is

everything.

Does it have to be this way? 

I explore how we live, connect, create, and work, and what we might do differently.

Current Project: Let's Do Life Together

See where Help Hangs have spread since we began sharing the concept and simple instructions on September 8, 2026.

A part of the Let's Do Life Together project, Help Hangs are gatherings where people do the work of life together and socialize while doing that work. Help Hangs aim to be a solve for these problems: the work of life takes too much time, the cost of life is too high, and people are lonely. Unlike most of human existence, we now typically do the work of life privately and only gather when we have extra time and money - two things in short supply. It's no wonder we're lonely. We're discovering what it can look like today to put the work of life together with spending meaningful time with friends and neighbors so we can have more of the time that makes life worth living.

Current Project: Testify (a new musical)

A invited developmental reading of Testify was held on August 30, 2026 at Nashville Jazz Workshop.

The original musical features music and lyrics by Ricky Braddy (American Idol, The Voice) and a book by Brooke Tansley (Hairspray, Beauty and the Beast) and Ricky Braddy.

Inspired by the personal stories of the men at its center, Testify follows three gay men and a progressive Christian pastor
who once imagined lives in music but found those paths altered by rejection, expectation, faith shift, and the pressure to hide parts of themselves. When their lives unexpectedly intersect through music, what begins as a collaboration develops into a brotherhood that changes what each believes is possible for himself - and what they might offer others together.

Inspired by and developed from their personal stories, Testify will feature Braddy, Ryan Greenawalt, Wil Merrell, and Ray Waters portraying versions of themselves.
