As an Army brat, I grew up in a bunch of different cities, absorbing diverse cultures and perspectives along the way. I understood early on, that any subject can generate infinite viewpoints. This served me well as a fine arts and design student and it has served me well in my 20+ career in advertising—which has included stints in Ireland, Germany, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. My unique background and experience in agencies around the world helps me offer uncommon solutions for some of the world’s most famous brands
After working in BBDO Dublin as the creative lead on Guinness, Budweiser and Carlsberg, I moved back home became a Creative Director at McCann, New York, leading the global brands of Lockheed Martin, Qualcomm, Microsoft and State Street Global Advisors (I was one of the lead creators behind “Fearless Girl.”) I even got to kill a mascot at VaynerMedia and was the lead creative director on the KraftHeinz account which consist of 15 brands...yes 15!
After I took on the role as Head of Creative / Executive Creative Director at Argonaut New York and help launch and establish our East Coast presence. Today, I am now the Chief Creative Officer of Barbarian.
And though I love advertising and my sneakers, my true joy comes from raising my two boys alongside my endlessly patient wife.
