bs Burnough’s multifaceted career spans government, media, education, and the private sector. With a deep-seated belief that powerful stories can transform the world, he currently serves as CEO of Hatch House Media, a gaming, film, television, and theatre production company dedicated to culturally resonant storytelling.
