Word Nerd. Creative Director. Team Builder. Good Guy.

The Goal

Here’s a crazy idea: I’m interested in working for brands with a soul. Companies that are fearlessly creative. People who want to do good for the communities they serve. Selfless, honest leaders who value their teammates as humans and their customers as more than a soulless KPI data point. Organizations that don’t mind telling their story honestly and sharing the good they do for others.

I’m interested in working with entities and people that do more — not because they have to, but because they want to — because it’s just the right thing to do.

The Goods

Humble brag: I’ve done it all. As you’ll see in my résumé, I’ve helped clients hit the mark across a wide variety of industries and interests.

After 20-plus years of slinging ideas, it was difficult to create my “greatest hits” list to showcase my favorite work examples. However, I think the following examples are indicative of my range and capabilities.

The Awards

My work has received 40+ awards and honors from numerous marketing, advertising, and public relations organizations.

But my words, strategy, and concepts were only a part of the award-winning puzzle. Each of these awards is the result of collaborative, supportive teamwork and I am thankful and blessed to have worked with some of the most amazing and creative minds in the ad game.

The Praise

I’ve worked with a lot of people. Thankfully, a lot of them said a lot of nice things about me.

Aw, shucks…

The Résumé

I know my résumé is long, but I’m not going to apologize for my experience. I’ve traveled down a truly fascinating career path and I bring a lot of word nerd, comedy, and leadership goodness to the table. Should we work together, you might need a bigger table (but I’m crafty and can help you build it.)

In my 20-plus years of professional creative and communications work, I’ve created many award-winning ideas and crafted many stories. While my entire career has been focused on honest words and I have an awards chest bursting at the rivets proving my work is pretty darn trustworthy, my greatest accomplishment has been developing, nurturing, and supporting amazing teams of amazing thinkers and storytellers.
