I think truisms make the best advertising. I’m the youngest of six. I majored in Creative Writing and minored in Graphic Design. I have an Art Direction degree from Portfolio Center. I’ve worked as both a Copywriter and an Art Director. I have three dogs: a Golden Retriever, one Pug, and a little black dog named, Little Black Dog. I can recognize a good idea without seeing whether it won an award or not. I like playing baseball, kayaking, and restoring old Jeeps. I lead by example. I call it like I see it. You’ll always know where you stand with me. I’m loyal to people I respect. I respect people who show integrity and common sense. I think politicians suck. I have strong opinions that can be changed. I take responsibility for myself. I clean up my messes. I like to fix things. I like to build things. I say I’m sorry when I’m sorry. I believe recognizing and harnessing the power of your gut instinct takes years to do……. Correctly. I don’t like cranberry sauce. I’ll eat pretty much anything… else. You can’t teach someone work ethic. I learned about human nature bartending. I think without a Big Idea, all you have is execution. Ads that are all execution are just noise. My favorite car I ever owned was a 1971 Datsun 240Z. I had a couple Super Bowl spots. I’m on my eighth Jeep Wrangler, an ’05 LJ. I was also a Sculpture major & a Painting & Print Making major. I attended four colleges, in three states, in five years. In my life, I’ve lived in nine cities and moved thirteen times. My first Golden Retriever, Tyler understood everything you said to him. I believe that life is an adventure.
