WORK
ABOUT
I've spent my career doing something most people consider incompatible. Making the work great while making the business work.
I literally started my career in a mailroom and worked my way up to President of Digitas Chicago & West Coast, managing a $100M+ P&L and hundreds of people across multiple offices.
Along the way, I led some of the most awarded campaigns in the industry, including leading Digitas Chicago to the #1 spot in the Cannes Lions Global Creativity Report (twice), a Super Bowl commercial that broke the internet, and work for brands like Taco Bell, Whirlpool, MillerCoors, and Playstation.
Few creatives make the leap into business leadership. I did and refused to choose between making award-winning work and driving business outcomes.
The result is campaigns that win awards and grow the business, teams that deliver great work on time and on budget, and clients who see their investment pay off both commercially and culturally.
I've had Peyton Manning tell me to get the fuck out of his trailer, been praised by Jon Stewart and scolded by Bill O'Reilly, and kept multiple offices aligned without pretending advertising is more complicated than it actually is.
WHAT I CAn do for you:
Creative leadership that understands how to grow a P&L
Business leadership that protects the work
The ability to build teams, win pitches, and deliver work that matters
Two decades of making things people actually remember
