I'm a Midwest-based creative leader with decades of experience crafting compelling narratives and award-winning campaigns for some of the world's most respected brands. As a copywriter by trade and storyteller at heart, I relentlessly pursue unexpected, impactful ideas that solve complex business problems and make brands famous.

Raised by a high school teacher and football coach, I have a passion for mentoring teams to exceed expectations and deliver winning results, no matter what the odds. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work with and learn from some of the best creative talent in the business, across every traditional and digital medium there is. And yes, I've gathered quite a bit of ad wisdom along the way.

While I've seen a lot of changes in the tools, technologies, and tactics we use to connect brands to consumers, one thing has never changed, and I believe never will:  Big ideas always win. Not big celebrities, or big productions, or big egos. Big ideas.

​

When I'm not coming up with big ideas, you can find me making memories with my wife, six kids, and three dogs.
