Make something unignorable.








Not taking risks is risky. It’s a craft that demands vision shaped by a unique perspective. Great brands understand that creativity is an unfair advantage, and I have worked with more of them than anyone. View some work

I have spent nearly two decades leading award-winning work in every creative marketing discipline. In-house and at every type of agency, for every industry. I help brands find their story and imagine new ways to tell it. 

I started as an art director in the Surf, skate, snowboard industry in Southern California. Then I spent the next dozen years on the agency side in NYC, mastering brand and marketing strategy, crafting concepts and campaigns, and pitching hundreds of brands (and winning 72% of them) as a Creative Director on Madison Avenue. I shifted back to the client side to build inhouse agencies on Wall Street, at an E-commerce pioneer, and at a software company.

On the side, I’ve built and sold a Brooklyn coworking space, a Filipino restaurant, and I invest in businesses. I’m also doing a pretty good job raising three boys with my wife and business partner. We currently live in Berlin and work with clients all over the world.
