First off, to avoid any confusion, I’m the joyful, no-look-passin’ point guard ON THE RIGHT.

And when I’m not dropping dimes, I’m directing—dialing in great performances, sharp dialogue, and impeccable comedic timing. Strategic thinking and easy collaboration come standard, too—they just didn’t make for a very sexy opening.

Comedy is my first love, but I’m right at home painting rich visual stories, navigating emotional beats, working with kids and other wild animals, executing visual effects, and helming multi-million-dollar productions across everything from automobiles to tourism to home improvement.

I also have a genuine knack for finding the fresh, unexpected moment—the kind that cuts through the noise and actually sticks around. That instinct was sharpened during my years as a writer and creative director at places like Wieden+Kennedy, and it’s what keeps clients coming back.

My directing career opened with an Emmy nomination for Dominos’ very first viral videos. I’ve since directed campaigns for Toyota, Starburst, Honda, Visit California, Amazon, Subway, Build.com, Hotels.com, CarGurus, Lowe’s, Persil, VW and Golden Corral, to name a few.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’m also no stranger to sports and celebrity talent—Anna Faris, Dax Shepard, Monica Padman, George Lopez, Yaya DaCosta, Magic Johnson, Amar’e Stoudemire, Paul George, Henrik Lundqvist, Derek Jeter, and John Cena. You know—to name…drop.

I got my start in advertising by driving a 30-foot flatbed truck to Midtown Manhattan, parking in front of Ogilvy, and setting up shop on the back. Desk, chair, lamp, carpeting, computer, trash bin, dead plant, stale coffee. And a six-foot letter to the CCO. It worked. (Apparently I was doing pop-up events before they were a thing.)

From there I made my way to W+K on ESPN and Nike, then Cliff Freeman on Fox Sports, Merkley on Mercedes, and finally JWT as an ECD—leading some of the best young creative teams in the business on JetBlue, Domino’s, LL Bean, Stride Gum and Swedish Fish.

Along the way I picked up honors from D&AD, The One Show, Cannes Lions, Clios, The Art Directors Club, and Communication Arts. But nothing compares to my Space Derby Blue Ribbon from Cub Scouts.

In my spare time I’m borderline obsessed with fly fishing, skiing, mountain biking, golf, and home design.
