Creative Director/Senior Copywriter

About
I'm a creative with big ideas. And more importantly, I'm able to rally people around those ideas to bring them to life. My career has followed an unusual path. But it's that wide experience across entertainment, media, retail, direct response, finance, and B2B that drives my ability to see things a little differently, and produce unique solutions.
I'd love to tell you more.
