23 years ago, I sat attentively listening to a string of guest lecturers in a college mass com class. These lecturers came from a variety of fields and industries, including authors, directors, journalists, and news anchors. However, it was the guests from a prominent advertising agency that piqued my attention. I wanted that job. It had everything I was interested in: creativity, strategy, psychology, relationships, headlines, and calls to action.Now, decades later, I've been fortunate to sink my creative teeth into the ad world, working on small- and large-scale campaigns for an assortment of clients locally and nationally, including the Utah Jazz (NBA), Kohl's, University Health, University of Utah Athletics, Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, Kia America, Cal Ranch Stores, Rhodes Bake & Serve, Aetna, Hi-Chew (Morinaga), Zions Bancorp, Coca-Cola, Disney, and more. Bottom line: I still love this job and can't believe it's what I do for a living. I would never have lasted this long as a professional baseball player.Projects of note:-Responsible for marketing over 50 Larry H.
