20 year creative with agency, freelance, and brand-side experience. I am passionate about brand stories people want to be a part of, creating engaging experiences and narratives rather than just ads, and making and inspiring the unexpected whenever and wherever possible across TV, social, and digital. I want to make cool things with cool people as leadership/mentorship is a big part of the reward for me.

SCAD alum and Texas Tech University.At Deutsch alone, I spent 9 years leading and shaping award-winning work on the Taco Bell brand, pitching and winning new business for the agency, and another year new creative storytelling for retail brand Lowe's. I have led teams on both the agency side and within the Marine Corps.Previous clients Nike, Xbox, PlayStation, Activision, Gatorade, Canada Dry, Nissan, Target, Getty, Bare Minerals, and Visa.
