Branding, Marketing & Music guy, fostering creativity and collaboration. I lead an incredibly talented team dedicated to taking new brands to market and helping existing organizations transition through rebrands, discovery, or new market entry. Whether it's market analysis, concept validation, product development, or brand transformations, enabling businesses to discover new opportunities, build confidence, and thrive through strategic branding and marketing efforts is why I get up in the morning. That, and my family. They're great, too.

I advocate for data-driven creative strategy, and in collaboration with passionate community leaders, we've helped design, curate and manage events, workshops and activations such as The Frontier, Give Props, TEDxHouston, Visualized NYC, CreativeMornings Houston, and HandLetterHou.As founder of Record Props, I've developed a deeper understanding of supply chain management, from industrial design and manufacturing to all facets of operations, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, and fulfillment. Adding the Culture Pilot branding and marketing layer atop this knowledge base has led to more powerful retail strategies.I'm a pretty optimistic guy.I owe a lot to the smarter people I surround myself with.Specialties include: Strategy, Creative Direction, Technology Advisory, Vinyl Records, and Cupcakes. Not necessarily in that order.
