ABOUT
I’m a Writer/CD. I solve problems. Communication problems. I develop strategic, simple, insightful ideas that cut through and make people think, act, and engage. I’ve worked on national and international brands, big and small, across every sector, through every platform.
My work has been recognized by the industry’s most respected award shows, including Cannes, The One Show, The Clios, London International Advertising Awards, and Communication Arts.
When I'm not solving communication problems, I'm thinking about mountain biking. Fixing mountain bikes, cleaning mountain bikes, buying mountain bikes, and abandoning my loving family early in the morning to ride mountain bikes. I used to be an Account Executive. And, before that, I bussed tables, strung tennis racquets, taught waterskiing, and planted trees.
