About
I grew up in Maine. My first computer was a Commodore 64. I started playing Dungeons & Dragons when I was ten years old. I can navigate using a map and compass. My first job was on a bee farm. I was 15. It was a nightmare.
I came to advertising late in life, settling in as a copywriter and eventually a CD. I’m a conceptual siege engine, breaching the boundaries of fortified briefs with high velocity ideas. I approach leadership as a distinct, separate skillset. My goal isn’t just good work, it’s to uplift the creatives around me.
I've got an M.A. in Media Studies from The New School in NYC. When I'm not working, I write poetry, short works of fiction and rent checks.
