Ever since I penned & designed my middle school presidential campaign slogan
FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE VOTE FOR DIMMER
I felt a strong passion for creativity. I was brought up in a very liberal household and encouraged to follow my passions. From dressing up like a clown to bring shoppers into our garage sale to performing (and winning) lip sync competitions in the small town I grew up in, I loved different forms of self expression. I followed that passion to art school at Kendall College of Art & Design and then into a career in design & art direction.
Over the last few decades I've worked all over the country in agencies from 15 - 1500 people and every category of brand. I've art directed local pro-bono campaigns & shot millions of dollars worth of commercials all over the world.
But the thing I'm most proud of making are all of the amazing relationships. Those are what made the work better. It was the trust that allowed big things to happen.
And trust is what everything is built on, and without it you're wasting your time.
Life is too short to not do what you love.
And then there's the best job I've ever created for myself, fatherhood.
