Me: As noted above, I’m a creative director. I’m also an art director, writer, designer, leader, mentor, and builder of creative departments in small, medium and large agencies and cities. I’m a husband, father, cyclist and dog lover. Lastly, I’m full of energy and passion, but never full of myself.

Experience: Although it doesn’t jump off the page of my resume, I’ve worked with the Goliaths and learned about running big brands with big budgets from some of the industry’s brightest minds. I’ve spent more time working with the Davids on challenger brands where I’ve learned being fiscally creative can make you capable of producing big ideas on any budget. And how being diverse helps you think outside the creative department. Applying insights from these experiences every day, makes me better.
