Be Human. Have Fun. The Rest Will Follow.

Our work comes and goes, but the people stick around — it’s a small industry. Be the person you want to be in the trenches with. The one who’s always ready to laugh or share a meme. The one people look forward to seeing in meetings.

Once you do that, the success comes. Trust me, I’ve been around for 10+ years in this crazy ad world. I’ve done some fun things: made fans foam at the mouth for sauce, brought an aging bodega hot dog to life, went to the metaverse (when that was a thing), made people cry over fries, and more.

Hit me up if you want to chat, or collaborate. If I don’t respond, I’m probably at the movies, running, or in the middle of a Crossfit class — see how long it took me to drop that one?
