The Gist

I develop brand communications and conceptual advertising for a range of clients. Over the years, I've become quite good at making complex products seem simple. 

Background

I grew up racing go karts, dirt bikes, snowmobiles and ATVs. The latter two kept me humbly employed until the volatile nature of motorsports ran its natural course. 

I've since finished college and found my way into the creative department at an advertising agency. It's been a good gig so far. I still feel like I'm living fast even though I'm no longer living at a race track.

I love what I do because doing it well comes down to solving problems in interesting ways.
