I believe in work that moves culture and makes businesses a ton of cash.

My career started abroad in Sydney, writing for the Australian National Basketball League. From there, it was Buenos Aires, where I photographed campaigns for Nike with the design shop Furia. Then Brazil at Ogilvy and David where I worked on Coke, Dove, Motorola, Playstation and Burger King. While I was there things got a  little… interesting. I wound up rapping in a Motorola
commercial and was the breakdancing koala for The Coala Music Festival. (Ask me about it. Or don’t. Your call.)

At Leo Burnett Worldwide, I worked on Samsung and am now the lead creative for ALDI. In my short tenure, we’ve turned a grocery store into one of the most trusted and talked-about brands in the country. We jumped 19 spots in the Harris Brand Reputation Poll, landed at #2 in Time Magazine’s World’s Best Grocery Brands, and made our way back onto the Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands. Not bad for a brand that sells literal potatoes.

Most of my time outside of advertising is spent as a volunteer wildland firefighter on Sugarloaf Mountain in Boulder, Colorado. 

If you want someone who can rally a room, push creative that drives business, and keep things from going up in flames, let’s chat.
