About Me

I won’t spin you a narrative that I eat, sleep, and breathe advertising. That every waking moment is spent keeping up-to-date on the latest consumer trends or planning my next concept. If I let myself become that consumed, the fire igniting my persistence might die. I play video games, write short stories, work at being a good fiancé and find the balance between a fun yet disciplinary cat dad. These things give me joy, and my career is one of those things hanging in the balance. That may not work for everybody, but it works for me, and what I bring to the table will work at making your next project a success.

I can write snappy headlines that make people chuckle, just as well as I can write sappy ones that pull on their heart strings, because I put the story first. Every product, every service, every accidental injury lawyer pasted on the freeway billboards has one, and I make it my job to tap into the tale behind the sales talk. If you offer the best quality, for the best price, AND everybody knows it, you really don’t need me, do you? But if you’re one of the 99.99% of businesses that don’t fit into that neat little slot, I want to find a way to get you there.

 

So let’s talk.
