Creative director

The work is important. So are the people making it, the details that make it better, and having a good time along the way.

A career spent turning ideas into things people can actually see, feel, and remember—from global brand campaigns and product launches to the creative systems, teams, and processes that make great work possible. Experience spans both agency and in-house, leading creative for brands including Uber, Starbucks, Tripadvisor, QDOBA, and more.

The belief is simple: great creative leaders should be able to see the big picture and get their hands dirty, and a good idea is only the beginning. The real fun is figuring out how to make it real—directing a campaign, building a visual system, solving a production problem, or building a custom piece of furniture in his garage.

That instinct to make things goes way back. Growing up just outside Disney World in Orlando, Florida meant an early education in spectacle, storytelling, and the incredible lengths people go to bring imagination to life.

These days, living in Los Angeles and watching his two sons discover the world provides plenty of inspiration. Other passions and inspirations include, roasting coffee, and occasionally making questionable decisions involving power tools.
