For 30+ years I have been managing the creative and strategic direction for some of the world’s most recognizable brands at some of the top creative agencies in the country.

My work has garnered every major advertising and marketing award from Cannes, D&AD, CLIO, London International, New York Festivals, Stephen E. Kelly, Effie Worldwide, the One Show, National ADDY, the Art Directors Club, the ANDYs. But above all, I am most proud of the Emmy he won for his Citibank ID Theft campaign. I was also part of the team that worked on the groundbreaking BMW Films. At Martin, I helped pitch and win Purina Feed, which makes food for every animal other than dogs and cats. Which came in handy when having dinner conversation with his wife, a large animal veterinarian. Four two years I ran the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line account.

I began my career as a Communication Design major at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. After several years as a designer in NYC I attended The Portfolio Center in Atlanta. I currently live outside of Richmond, VA with my wife, two kids, two cats, two horses, eight chickens and a snake named Vincent.

In my spare time I’ve been training as a Race Marshal for Formula 1 Racing and will be waving the flags in October at the year’s US Grand Prix in Austin, TX.
