I help companies find their story, align the teams, and actually make the work.

I use creativity to solve business problems. Whether that's a campaign, a strategy no one can agree on, a much-needed product, a broken process, or a team that feels like it's swimming in jeans.

For 20+ years, I’ve worked with and led brands like ESPN, Logitech, Amazon, Mars, Comcast, Frito Lay, Clorox, the NBA, and Ubisoft. I've scaled teams, founded and sold an ad agency, and built tools to remove the friction that slows good ideas down.

I’m a hands-on leader. I shape ideas, write, mentor teams, and make sure the thinking shows up clearly in the execution. I do my best work alongside strong strategists, creatives, and operators who want to solve real problems together — people who take the work seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously. That’s usually when the best ideas show up.

I use AI throughout the process (research, insights, concepting, prototyping, production) and have launched multiple successful campaigns that way. Speed matters. But speed alone isn’t value. Judgment and taste are. My role is to make sure modern tools serve the strategy and the craft, not replace the thinking. Otherwise, you just get slop at scale.

Before all of that, I was fired as a parking lot attendant. I still maintain it wasn't entirely my fault, but I've decided to move on.

If you’re building something interesting, I’d love to chat.
