Big Ideas
No B.S.
Unboring

I’ve been in this business for a bit. I’ve hung out of helicopters, raced in a NASCAR, and recreated Thelma & Louise at the Grand Canyon. I fed a grizzly, laughed with Fred Willard, and directed a maggot. I love this business, and I’ve held fast to a few principals:  every brief is an opportunity, work twice as hard as everybody, trust my instincts, and listen more than I talk.

My leadership is rooted in empathy and clarity. I never ask anyone to do anything I haven't done, and I give clear feedback and direction.
I grew up in Chicago with a love for the arts and travel. After visiting 65 countries and having lived in a few, I’ve returned to my Chi-town roots.

I’m obsessed with espresso, $2 bills, disability rights, Monday night pasta, running, vintage sunglasses, my three kiddos and my lovely wife.
