As number eight of nine children, I've been competing for attention since birth.

In Marketing, that comes in pretty handy.

Professionally, I’m a strategic, award-winning creative leader with extensive cross-channel experience. Friendly with clients. Thoughtful with strategy. Cozy with data. A writer at heart, I approach work on both global and local brands with the same enthusiasm, hell bent on crafting communications that will get noticed, be remembered, and drive consumers to act. You can view my resume here.

Personally, I'm a Chicago-born creative with a sense of adventure and curiosity that consistently lures me away from comfort zones, including a short, tragic stint as a pancake house clown, a shorter stint playing bass in Menudo, several fringe theater collaborations, one trip to the world's largest tomato fight in Spain and and 13 or so treks to Burning Man with a heavy gong.

Thanks for taking a look at my work.
