About Me
The only thing more important than the culture is the work. My passion is making creative ideas come to life and structuring teams to be successful in the necessary problem solving needed to do so.
I bring a mix of creative production, team leadership, program management, and general marketing and business expertise with 15+ years of experience across creative and consulting agencies.
ABOUT
The first 10+ years of my career were focused on the MO of becoming the jack-of-all-trades creative producer.
Creativity and curiosity are what drive me and I’ve never wanted to be limited to one medium of production.
I’m a creative problem solver first and foremost. And if I don’t know the answer, I have a relationship with someone who does. I’m the guy you put in the room when you need to figure out the impossible. Whether it’s developing a production approach to cover a sh** ton of different mediums, or figuring out how to turn a car window into an in interactive content experience, or you just need an un-conventional approach to making something beautiful that seems to have no time or money… I pride myself in being that guy.
The past ~5 years I’ve rounded out my production specialty with a general business and team management skillset, spending some time in consulting where I built and managed a small creative agency and production model within the larger brand consultancy, and also running P&L and overall program management for accounts exceeding $10MM in annual revenue, mentoring younger producer/PMs, building and managing large teams to delivery quality work while maintaining margin targets, and creating a general workflow and operating structure for a large team or project all fall within my skillset and passion in this business!
