At the end of the day, my job is to sell more sandwiches. Or grills. Or have more people stop by the drugstore for a gallon of milk on their way home. To do this, I believe ads should be purposeful, insightful and have stopping power. It’s a cluttered world out there. The last thing I want to do is add more clutter.
This is the philosophy I bring to TV, digital, print, radio, OOH, in-store, experiential, mobile, DM, B2B and social. I've worked on packaged goods, retail, technology and pretty much everything in between.
Other things that make me, me? Married, four kids, a dog, a turtle and an MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute. I’ve exhibited art in shows and performed readings of my work throughout the city. I’ve interviewed authors. And published stories in several journals including Confrontation, The Logan Square Literary Review and Prism International. And I won an honorable mention in The Atlantic’s student writing contest, which, if I may admit, was pretty cool.
If you hire me, I promise not to write about you unless you want me to, in which case I can make you either incredibly good-looking or smart, or both, dependent upon the salary, of course.
