Creative Instigator. Formidable Pitch Man. Cultural Polymath. I have the vision to craft distinctive creative and the chops to execute boundary breaking experiences, collaborations, and products for conscientious and sustainable brands.I always push the limits of possibility, find the best way out of the box, and convince others to come along for the ride. Balancing a punk-rock sensibility with reliability, integrity, and maturity, I shepherd creative teams and business concepts from idea to execution. HIGHLIGHTS: Connecting brands to art and culture in explosive and innovative partnerships, I’ve paired unusual bedfellows, negotiated new opportunities, and uncovered unexpected synergies, including a global partnership with Australian street artists DAMSMYLA and BEYOND THE STREETS that rekindled Perrier’s deep connection to the art world.I’ve led and won 100+ pitches to-date, including the only brand endorsement Anthony Bourdain ever agreed to. I conceive and develop the unexpected to amplify brands with breakthrough content and newsworthy experiences that reach the right audiences.I’m a DJ who defined the New England dance scene, a sustainable coffee entrepreneur, a SF MoMA featured artist, and a filmmaker; and I blend it all into cultural insights and strategic approaches to launch new brands and refresh old ones.SELECT BRANDS: Media/Entertainment/Culture: Hulu – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Motortrend (Top Gear) – Tate ModernAutomotive/Sustainability: FordFinancial Services: AMEX – Citibank – Merrill LynchBeverage: Balvenie - Heineken – Dos Equis – Jack Daniels – Stoli – Perrier – Stella Artois – Mattel
