Hi.
I like to make work that works and in my mind what always works is fun. Fun comes in many shapes and sizes—sometimes educational, sometimes shocking, sometimes heartwarming—but the thing about fun is it’s always entertaining, it’s always in demand, and it’s always memorable. Fun sells. Fun gets talked about. Fun works in any medium. Plus, 10 out of 10 people like to have fun*
*based off my very scientific, proprietary research of asking 10 people “do you like fun?”
I’ve worked in an advertising agency studio, as an art director, a creative director, a global creative director, executive creative director, and led Brand and Creative on some really great brands, including Volkswagen, New Balance, Volvo, Columbia Sportswear, Vacasa, Project RED, Cadillac, Puma, and Clif Bar. I feel lucky to have cut my teeth on the “Drivers Wanted” campaign for Volkswagen, to have created the “Let’s Make Excellent Happen” campaign for New Balance, and to have rebranded Columbia Sportswear.
I love to concept, lead teams, and get behind the camera to make the work. You can find me directing or photographing, often under the alias “Big Perm,” "(once you meet me it will all make sense)."
