Chicago-born and Texas-bred, I grew up shooting commercials for items I found lying around the house with an old cassette camcorder. Guess I was destined to be an adman. 

 

Fast forward that camcorder a few years, and I’m off to the snowy tundra of Ithaca, NY. College food was mediocre, but the people were top-notch. After countless coffee breaks and way too many late nights in the library, I graduated cum laude from the Roy H. Park School of Communications.

 

Fed up with Ithaca winters, I shipped off to LA in search of sunlight and an illustrious career in screenwriting. A few agents told me I had “real moxie, kid” and slipped me business cards, but my screenplays never went anywhere. Eventually, I reunited with my life-long passion for ads when I picked up “On Advertising” by David Ogilvy. 

 

I landed my first advertising gig at a startup writing website copy before cutting my teeth at a few of San Antonio’s top shops.

 

A few years later, I made my maiden voyage up I-35 and moved to Austin for a job at a Wunderman Thomson (now VML) where I serviced the Dell, Dell for Business, Dell Gaming, and Alienware accounts. Then, in 2022 I was hired by Dentsu McGarry Bowen which became Dentsu Creative.

As of 2025, I've been at Denstu for nearly four years where I've brought the "rizz" to pitches and spent years working on DIAGEO Global (Smirnoff, Guiness, Casamigos), Olive Garden, Chevron, Intel, Crayola, and more.
