About

Seth grew up moving throughout the American South, an experience that taught resilience, versatility, and adaptability. Each transition forced Seth to see life from different angles and connect with people from all walks of life. Seth is committed to lowering barriers of entry into spaces historically closed off to others. Seth believes true leadership is not only about standing in front but also knowing how to lead from behind, because we are only as strong as the most vulnerable among us.

Seth has carried these lessons into work in the political, non-profit, and community space by partnering with others to help people understand and navigate complex political and social issues in real, everyday terms. Seth’s mission is to build bridges, create access, and ensure that the voices of the marginalized shape the future we all share.
