Work Hard, Treat people well, and Never Give Up

I'm an SVP and Group Creative Director with more than 25 years of experience creating campaigns, building brands, and leading teams. I've spent my career turning complicated business challenges into creative opportunities for brands like Honda, Acura, Intuit QuickBooks, ampm, the LA Clippers, Dole, and many others. Along the way, I've learned that leading creative people requires more than having good ideas. It requires having good instincts. Knowing when to push, when to listen, when to challenge, and when to get out of the way. I believe the best leaders set high expectations and give people the confidence, trust, and support to exceed them.

I love a great idea. I love the moment something clicks. I love watching talented people surprise themselves with what they're capable of. And I still love getting my hands dirty in the process, whether that's concepting, art directing, sketching, or exploring something entirely new. For more than 20 years, I've also taught at The Book Shop, helping aspiring creatives break into advertising. It's made me a better listener, a better collaborator, and a better leader. It's taught me that finding potential in people can be just as rewarding as finding the perfect idea.

I've been fortunate to work with exceptional talent, trusted clients, and teams that have made some remarkable things happen. I'm proud of the work we've created together. Just as importantly, I'm proud of the relationships we've built along the way. Because at the end of the day, I want to make work that matters, help people become better at what they do, and enjoy the process of doing it together.
