About

I’m a hard-working, "the job ain't done til it's done" kind of art director. I first learned my craft at the Miami Ad School. My career started at Best Buy - working in their in-house ad agency, not selling TVs. I was next recruited to join BBDO Detroit to work on Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. After my first year, I already had three television spots under his belt. I have worked on blue-chip clients like Northwest Airlines, US Bank, Best Buy, Target, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. I like to keep things relaxed and light, but when work needs to be done he will stick around until it's right. I feel I play well with others and love contributing to the process of improving a client's business.
