Being a dad of three boys and a CD for 10+ years means I’ve had a lot of practice helping people get up after they stumble. When I’m not helping creatives get better I’m looking for partners - be it coworkers or clients - who get excited about the work and treat each other with respect.

////////Chief Creative Officer - Genexa - 2021////////
I led the development and launch of the company’s first ever 360 brand campaign. Grew organic IG followers by 40% in four months.

Learned an endless amount about running a business.
