I am a hybrid CCO and brand director seeking full time creative leadership roles and creative and brand consulting and freelance projects.I believe the world’s most powerful brands deliver excellence through everything they make, do, and say. To achieve that, they need a brand built with creativity powering its core. And, that’s what I love to do—create brand worlds that drive impact. In a world of fragmented messaging, information overload, and industry uncertainty, ideas with a simple human truth, told with a provocative single-minded narratives that work across all media channels, will win. Most great ideas are simple, and simplicity will always cut through the noise and make an emotional connection with people. I believe if you create something that can make people and consumers feel something chances are the audience will do something.My holistic team approach to creative challenges has allowed me the privilege and honor to lead and craft brand identities, campaigns, social conversations, digital experiences, and experiential environments for iconic brands ranging from Nike, Apple, BASF, Hewlett Packard, Wyndham Hotels, Adidas, Benetton, Coke-Cola, the American Indian College Fund, Pepsi, BF Goodrich, Heineken, the NFL, State Farm, Gatorade, Beats, the NBA, Pirelli, and The Ad Council. I have been fortunate to work and learn from with some great leaders over the years including Phil Knight, Tinker Hatfield, Dan Wieden, Oliviero Toscani, Steve Jobs, Carly Fiorina, Rich Silverstein, Lee Clow, Steve Stoute, and Jimmy Iovine, as well as many others in my career. I love to build teams, connect talent, and in develop and nurture a working environment where people want to succeed and grow.
