SUMMARY

A Copywriter, a Director and a Producer walk into a bar...

That about sums up my advertising background through the years. I'm experienced in creating award-winning

branded content for broadcast and social media. Specialties: Cars, fast food, NBA players, lottery,

video games, couches, frozen waffles, beer.

Aka: Saturday night at my place.

Oh yeah, I make a pretty damn good burger too.
