About

I’m a copywriter, creative director and strategist, but rarely in that order. I have decades of agency experience developing smart advertising and marketing ideas and programs for a huge range of clients, from multi-national corporations to family-owned businesses

In past lives, I've help run the in-house advertising and design department for a Fortune 700 Company. Co-owned my own shop doing advertising, design and strategy work out of converted barn. Been a creative director for agencies where I led global accounts for complex and challenging clients, including industrial manufacturing, non-profit, B2B, biotech and enterprise software. And along the way, I've become intensely interested in just about everything I encountered.

Over the years, I've come to realize that I have a designer's soul, a strategist's head and a pair of well-calloused writer's hands. I love untangling complex problems and figuring out simple, elegant ways to help build memorable brands, tell interesting stories and create great experiences for people.
