The name of the game is ‘adaptation’. I see change. I see opportunity. I see consumers with more and more control of what they watch. I see a blurring of entertainment and advertising. I love that the evolution of media is reinforcing my own evolution. To learn. To try new things. To experiment. After all, it is my profession to see and relate things in new and provocative ways. Sure, there is a new media frontier out there, but as technology warps, the need for good content only gets stronger. People are seeking out things they desire. It is my job to give them just that. No matter what the vehicle.
In my fifteen years of writing, at shops including Leo Burnett, Foote, Cone & Belding, DDB and Y&R, I have enjoyed working with dozens of the Fortune 500 all the way down to companies with only two employees.
I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia Journalism School and then The Portfolio Center in Atlanta.
I play guitar. Study martial arts. Paint weird things. Jot down intriguing thoughts. Spend quality time with my wife-to-be. Build things. Goof around with my two cats. And surf, when I can.
I was a carpenter in Alaska. I was a longshoreman in Seattle. I was in a rock band in Chicago. I brought an 1878 rowhouse mansion back from the dead in the West Loop. I taught surfing in Costa Rica. I was a dessert chef in Atlanta. I was a break dance teacher in Missouri (embarrassing but true). And there’s more.
