My expertise is the creative development of effective strategies that drive real change in the hearts, minds and behaviors of narrowcast audiences. I'm equally at ease developing large or small live events, targeted multi-channel communication campaigns and digital engagement tactics. Taking a leadership role with other creatives is also a speciality, as well as partnering enthusiastically with all members of the sales and production team. I believe the best work can only be achieved in an atmosphere of mutual respect and I pride myself in helping to drive a fun, focused and effective process with my team mates.

As Creative Practice Director at Kindle Communications I oversaw both the Creative and Design staff in the development and deployment of high value communications strategies and tactics. While at Kindle I helped them secure a multi-year contract for the Abbvie NSM, and an exclusive contract for internal communications with McDonald's, while supporting their existing clients like Amgen, US Foods, and Astellas.

Led the Creative, Strategy and Design functions for the Los Angeles office of Jack Morton; working with clients like Facebook, Mattel, LinkedIn, Dish Network, and Western Union.

Executive Creative Director on the agencies largest accounts, including Abbvie, Jones Lang LaSalle and Accenture.

Los Angeles

After leaving Jack Morton I took a couple of years to focus on fine and practical arts. I built a ceramic sculpture studio, and art making has been a consistent part of my life ever since.

I joined Jack Morton right out of college as a paste up artist. I grew through the ranks to be a Creative Director in their Chicago office, the Creative Practice Leader for the US offices, and for the last four years of my time there, the Chief Creative Officer Worldwide. I led the Jack Morton team to develop their current brand, and the core values that define the agency to this day. It was an amazing 22 years.
