I started off as a copywriter. These days I'd say I'm an insight seeking Creative Director. Finding those insights, invading culture and making things with nice people never gets old. So I try to do that every day.
I've been lucky enough to work with some amazing partners and brands through the years. Once upon a time I created the Find Your Beach platform for Corona. And some people have said I helped make one of the top 50 Super Bowl ads of all time. I've also had a lot of fun with brands like Tropicana, Porsche, Priceline and Panera. I've worked with a giant Tireman, William Shatner, Tony Romo, Snoop, a lemur, a Komodo dragon and a few chimpanzees. My kids are most impressed by the chimpanzee part.
Along the way I've picked up a few awards. A Lion here, a Pencil there. But I'm also the proud owner of 3 Dad of the Year mugs.
This site is a mix of what I've been up to lately and some old favorites.
Experience
I've spent a big chunk of my career at Cramer Krasselt in Chicago. Twice, in fact. But I've also worked at Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners in Sausalito. And started it all at Marcus Thomas in Cleveland.
