Some Stuff About Me

I don't know anything about OUTER SPACE. but 
I do know a bit about raising EARTHLINGS, FLY FISHING THE TRUCKEE RIVER, and developing brands out of thin air.

When I'm not doing everything humanly possible to help my wife raise decent children, you'll find me tying flies for trout and steelhead—with more lost to trees than kypes.

In career, I dedicate my every being to helping brands develop precise market positions. Because a brand can’t be everything, to everyone.

I’ve worked in the creative industry since graduating from Purdue University in 2011. And my career started in account management at Leo Burnett’s global headquarters in Chicago—learning from some of the greatest minds in our business.

As for today... well, my experience is far from ordinary.

Account management, brand strategy, business development, copywriting, creative direction, production—I’ve done quite a bit over the years. S’pose I can’t help myself. S’pose I just like learning how things work. Because the more I know, the easier it is to make stuff.

So, yeah. Let’s make some stuff.
