About

I have led creative teams to produce outstanding results and have been associated with renowned agencies like Dentsu Creative, Leo Burnett Chicago & Detroit, DDB SF, Tribal DDB, DDB Remedy, Publicis Modem, and Carol H. Williams Advertising. I thrive on teamwork and possess a relentless drive to succeed, consistently forging authentic, enduring connections between brands and consumers.

My work has garnered numerous accolades, including the prestigious Effie, Media Access, U.S. Ad Review, and IMCA's "Best in Show" award. I have also received the AA on wheels and Media Access Award for Outstanding Achievement, along with multiple Gold and Silver Addy Awards. One of my notable achievements includes creating Ad Age's top-ranked and highly acclaimed TV spot, "Signs," for Disney Parks. My work has been recognized in esteemed publications such as Time Magazine, The New York Times, Excellence in Brand Advertising, and US Ad Review.

Before embarking on my successful career in advertising, I honed my creative talents as the lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter for the band Wire Train.
