I’m a globally awarded creative director/art director living in Santa Monica, CA. Throughout my career I’ve been fortunate to have worked with some of the most talented people at some of the most respected agencies.

I love to lead and inspire as well as ideate and make. From big campaigns and new business to digital, brand design and everything in between. I like to approach it all holistically and have a passion for the work that I do. 

My work has included creating a rock opera to encourage kids to stop drinking soda for Got Milk? Launching a 40’ paper airplane over the desert for an aviation museum. Helping children with autism communicate better through technology from HP. Creating the longest pre-roll video on YouTube for Virgin America, which AdWeek called “Creepy, Warholian and Sort of Brilliant.” And, I’ve been a guest speaker and judge at international award shows and have mentored advertising students for The One Club.

Outside of all this, I love to surf, snowboard, mountain bike, go camping with my family and be in the great outdoors with my camera. This is where I find my inspiration and vitality. In fact, if I’m not at my desk, you can usually find me here.
