A bit about me
I’m number six of seven kids so I learned from an early age that I couldn’t just be loud to get someone’s attention. Or to get my share of dinner for that matter. I needed to be smart and clever and even a little scrappy. Many years later, I apply that same thinking to the job I do everyday. I’ve been fortunate enough to work in this business for over two decades - leading teams and creating work for some of the biggest automakers in the world and some of the smallest businesses on the block.
With big budgets, small budgets and sometimes no budgets at all, I’ve produced compelling, award-winning work for clients in all different mediums - on all different platforms. No matter what the task, I bring innovative thinking, a collaborative spirit and a never-say-never attitude.
And my siblings? They still have no idea what I do.
