I'm the creative middle child to a T. Growing up I had an imaginary friend named Coogie. He was a cow that lived in a cave. In college, I gave up the glitz and glam of physical therapy for the blue-collar advertising industry. After crashing and burning on the design side, I found a writer’s wit and never gave it back. I pride myself on my strategic concepts that engage the audience and solve for the client with unique insight and original thinking. I’ve continually done this in every realm from digital, video, and social to promotional, print, and experiential. When I'm not brainstorming conceptual magic, I'm most likely on the golf course, chasing a toddler, or dreaming of an Iowa City football tailgate.SKILLScolossal concepts and immense ideasconcepts that engage the audienceideas that solve for the client lines of tag and headpoetic ramblingscreating actions from callsrecognizing celebrity VOs rocking daughter to sleepgolfand alliteration LIKESwriting the perfect linesaying “compact disc”sarcasmburnt endstrailers.apple.comdabbling arcade firepassing out nicknames#itsmeClaraLeemaking puttsand hawkeyesACCOLADESShortlist for longhand 2.0 awardsConstant brainstorm requests17-time funniest in the fam4-time all conference on college golf teamDarn good dad
