About Me
Left brain, meet right brain. I’m that elusive endangered species: the organized creative. Or, as one boss called me, a unicorn. Some people are all ideas, no follow-through; others are all spreadsheets, no creative spark. Not me. I’m a brainstorm followed by a flash flood of productivity.
I’ve spent the past decade creating digital marketing solutions for two of the top online content publishers. Most recently, I led strategy and creative execution for About.com’s in-house agency, where I ideated and produced custom digital marketing programs that included editorial and video content (including a finalist in Digiday's Publishing Awards and Min's Best of the Web Awards), custom ad executions and social extensions for some of the world’s biggest brands. Since moving on from that role, I have been freelancing on a variety of marketing and creative projects.
My Experience
I've created solutions for brands like Disney, Clorox, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Intel and McDonald’s. My work has been featured in the WSJ, and at numerous industry panels (SXSW, AdWeek, etc) as best-in-class solutions.
My Superpower
I thrive on my ability to see into the DNA of what makes an idea great, and to know the steps needed to bring it to life.
my best Quality
A glass-half-full guy with a can-do attitude, I’m the glue that keeps teams together in a way that inspires #squadgoals.
