ABOUT ME (and my dog)
My experience
Over the past 20+ years, I've worked with some of the world's most respected brands like eBay, YouTube, Google, Sprint, Taco Bell, and Harley-Davidson. I have had the luxury to work on both the client and agency side of the equation and have the unique experience of delivering at the highest level both on creative ideation for global campaigns as well as scaling – and sustaining – the operational and strategic components of large teams and programs.
