About Me

I'm a collection of those who made me better

I am a craftsman that loves stories and storytelling across all mediums and channels.

A writer that delivers results through strategy, insights, voice and ideas.

I solve problems and puzzles. Share ideas. Make things.

I am a creative that brings ideas to life and helps mentor others.

I want someone to feel something and take action from what they see, read, feel or hear.

I've been blessed to work with some amazingly, talented people at some brilliant shops of all sizes both here and overseas – and I'm looking forward to meeting and working with many more.

I live in Minneapolis. I like BBQ. I love my family, sports and a good bourbon.

Not in any particular order.

 

That's Elvis. He's a ham.
