About

Despite what things may look like, I am not a model for Dutch Master painters.

I am a writer.

And here is my story.

I moved to New York for an internship at the Village Voice. After a couple months I got bored. I wasn’t writing. So I went to New York Magazine. Then Town & Country, where I finally got to write. Pieces on deluxe bicycles, hand-carved duck decoys and luxury travel companies. Since I was essentially writing ad copy, I figured I might as well make it official. So I went to ad school and got my first job in advertising. Best decision ever. Because every day I get to do what I do best. Tell stories.

But I don’t just tell stories. I also build and lead teams, rolling up my sleeves when the time is right. And because I run pieces of business, I’m comfortable sitting across the table from executives, senior leadership, and the occasional entrepreneur. I also was a founder of a legal cannabis marketing startup in Washington that was up and running and post-revenue within a year. We successfully created and launched a number of brands along the West Coast. So I’ve got a little hustle, too.

And if you care about awards, I’ve won a few. A couple Lions, a couple Clios, and a handful of others. Including a Norman. Ever heard of that one?
