Media industry insider. Digital wellness strategist.
“I help families survive the algorithm.”
Jim started out as a video journalist, covering technology and gaming for Slate/The Washington Post and helping launch Slate’s video department. He then spent years making the campaigns and video game launches that kids and families love. As executive director of Health-e-Habits, he now walks parents, students, and educators through how those products are made, in everyday language, with the goal of helping families enjoy technology on their own terms.
His talks are practical and upbeat. No lectures about screen time, and no asking anyone to give up the things they enjoy. Audiences leave knowing what to look for, what to ask their kids, and a few changes they can make at home that same week.
Elementary, middle, and high schools, PTAs, afterschool programs, libraries, parent groups, and companies that want a smarter conversation about kids and technology. Sessions run from a 45-minute keynote to a half-day workshop, in person or online, and every one is tailored to the audience in the room.
Each 45- to 60-minute session is tailored to the challenges your team is actually facing at home.
Working parents
Working parents are running on empty by the time they log off. This session explains why the transition away from screens causes meltdowns and gives you a step-by-step playbook for household tech boundaries that hold without a nightly standoff.
Working parents
Taking the phone away rarely fixes anything for long. Instead of a losing battle of bans, this session teaches practical skills: how kids can spot attention traps, break the scroll, and take control of what they watch and play.
Working parents
Not all video games are built the same. We explain the difference between a game you can pause and a loop designed never to end, why multiplayer matches are so hard to leave, and how to set boundaries without the after-game crash.
Working parents
Digital boundaries aren’t just for kids. This session is entirely about parent exhaustion: taking back your own devices, breaking the doom-scroll, and reclaiming the energy to be present for your career and your family.
