STORY

Record-producer-turned-creative-advertiser. Learned discipline, execution, and follow-through from my WWII Marine grandfather. Likes whiteboards, the right words, rhythms, fighter jets, and Oblique Strategies. I work hard and don’t worry much. Concluded listening makes you a better writer and adaptability is your only security. Uses the caffeine wisely. Thinks standing up. Thrives in chaos. Believes in love.
