CCO I CMO I COPYWRITER

My mother would describe my career by saying

“HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO BE A LAWYER, BUT…”

 
 

Her disappointment notwithstanding, I've been incredibly fortunate over the last two decades building multi-platform, highly engaging, results-driven work for some of the world’s most famous brands, including American Express, Nike, Anheuser-Busch, Burger King, The Mini Cooper, and so many others. 

I have worked for two agencies of the decade in CPB and TAXI. Worked as the Executive Creative Director for American Express for four years at Ogilvy and as the Executive Creative Director of Global Innovation for Leo Burnett. 

For four years, I was honored to work as the Chief Creative Officer at Endeavor, one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies in the World”, leading all creative including sponsorship and entertainment marketing, PR campaigns and over 9000 yearly experiential events for their 1000-person in-house agency 160 over 90. 

Though I am not particularly awards-driven, I am nonetheless proud to have multiple Cannes Lions, LIAs, Clios, One Show Pencils, D&AD Pencils and others. They are evidence of a lot of bravery on the part of our clients, and a lot of late night coffee on the part of the many people who bring any great idea to life. 

This wealth of experience gives me a unique perspective and ability to work across the spectrum. I am a modern creative leader. 

I have two kids for whom I dress up as Spider-Man regularly and I am an avid mental-health advocate. (As far as I know, these two items are unrelated.)

I suppose I am smart enough to be a lawyer. Sadly for my mother, I have no intention of finding out.
