I’m here

Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a Creative Director and Art Director at many of the top agencies in the industry. I’ve helped some of the world’s biggest brands create memorable work and succeed as a company: Gatorade, Hallmark, Pizza Hut, Miller Beer, Anthem BCBS, Oscar Mayer, Dow and KFC, just to name a few.

I believe that a picture is worth a thousand words.  When paired with the right copy and strategic insight, the idea becomes priceless.  I subscribe to “The One Thing” approach, that the best way to solve a problem is to find the simplest answer, and not to overthink it.  Instead, I work to create a unique idea that comes directly from the brand.

I’ve created numerous campaigns, spots, digital, social, print and activations. Had a few spots on the Super Bowl, Academy Awards and a music video on MTV.  Also picked up some awards along the way.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me with my family and friends, hopefully relaxing some place warm with my toes in the sand and a drink in hand.

Whatever your needs, I bring experience and endless energy to the job, from leading teams to creating work that can break through on any format.
