Greetings and thanks for stopping by. I am a creative director living in Saint Louis with 18+ years of agency experience. In those years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some supremely talented and inspiring people while directing local / national / global brands. After graduating in 2005 with a degree in design and minor in psychology I put my love of aesthetics to use at a boutique agency where I cut my teeth on a long list of Anheuser-Busch brands. Five years later I was hired by Moosylvania where my responsibilities broadened until I was creative director managing clients such as Bacardi, Sapporo and ABC Family, among others. In 2015 I took a job at CKMK where I am helping define several brands within the Nestle-Purina portfolio. 

In all aspects of life, particularly professional and personal, I strive to employ an exaggerated sense of empathy when approaching any situation. Being able to project oneself into a friend’s / client’s / demographic’s shoes is paramount to being effective in this line of work ... and a decent person in general.

In addition to being a lover of design I derive a great amount of creative pleasure in helping develop junior talent. I also probably enjoy amateur wrestling at the SBAC a little more than I should.
