About

Hi, there. Thanks for being curious enough about me to click on the about button. 

 I’m a writer slash creative director currently working at Grey, NY. For the past 3+ years, I’ve worked on MassMutual, McCormick, Frank’s Red Hot, Old Bay Seasoning, Nestlé Pure Life, Volvo, Gillette and a handful of new business pitches. 

 Before Grey, I spent 9+ years at KBS (currently known as Forsman + Bodensfors, formerly known as KBS+, formerly known as kbs+p, formerly known as Kirshenbaum Bond), where I helped rebrand Monster.com, positioned Harman as a thought leader in the world of audio with the award-winning documentary “The Distortion of Sound” and helped create Nike SB’s most successful sneaker launch campaign. 

 Before KBS, I worked at DIGO and Devito Verdi. 

 My work has received recognition from Cannes, The One Show, D&AD, Communication Arts, the Clios, and more.

 I live in Jersey with my wife and two kids and my resume and a slightly outdated photo are below
