About me
I revel in a creative challenge. I enjoy projects that stretch my abilities, take me out of my comfort zone, and teach me new things.
I have an extensive history in art direction, branding and content creation, but found my real passion is leading other creatives to their best ideas.
When I'm not making ads, you can find me writing music, taking a hike in the Santa Monica Mountains, pretending I'm not 40 years old at the Malibu Skate Park, icing and heating after said park visit, reading yet another self-help book, learning more about filmmaking, writing scripts, inventing a million things that will never see the light of day, and most importantly, spending time with my wife and pup.

What I believe in
O1. Joy
If you are not having fun, you are doing something wrong. Getting to use creativity to help others is a dream come true.
O2. Commitment
Without fully committing to anything, you are not going to achieve your best.
O3. Quality
If you are not going to deliver to the best of your ability, then you are just wasting everyone's time.
O4. Courage
The world is full of people and businesses that play it safe – be bold and dare to stand out.
Let’s talk.
