I’ve spent the past twenty years leading award-winning creative across just about every discipline —agency side and client side. If there’s a brand story to be found, I’ll find it… and then imagine ten new ways to tell it.
I began as an art director in the surf/skate/snow scene of Southern California, then traded wetsuits for winter coats and headed to New York. I earned my first global agency Creative Director title at age 31. And over the next dozen years on Madison Avenue, I mastered brand and marketing strategy, built campaigns from scratch, pitched hundreds of clients, and won over 72% of them against the biggest agencies in the business.
During COVID, I jumped back to the client side, where I built in-house agencies for a Wall Street firm, an e-commerce pioneer, and a fast-growing software company.
On the entrepreneurial front, I’ve launched and sold a Brooklyn coworking space, opened a Filipino restaurant, and invested in a handful of ventures. And at home, my business partner (wife) and I are doing a pretty solid job raising three boys.
These days, we live in Berlin and work with clients around the world—helping them unlock stories worth telling.
