HOWDY,

I grew up in Vienna.
Not THE One With Mozart, Beethoven and the Wiener Schnitzel.
THE ONE IN SOUTHERN Illinois.
with ONE TRAFFIC light and STEADFAST Southern Sensibilities.
Pearl-button Shirts. COUNTRY music. Church twice a week.
In first grade, I wanted to play for the Chicago Cubs.
In Fourth grade, I WANTED TO HELP SEA turtles in TEXAS.
In college, I met a girl and got a camera to impress her. She was not impressed. So, we married.
After college, I freelanced as A photographer, FILMMAKER AND COPYWRITER.
I worked WITH COMPANIES LIKE Nestlé Purina, Leica, Spotify, Facebook, DDB, University of ILLINOIS, Colorado Tourism, and MORE.
I wanted to be a writer. But my skill was pretty far from the writers I wanted to be like.
I got lucky when Luke Sullivan, Rob Schwartz, and Carolyn Hadlock HELPED ME work on THAT.
I got my first agency job with Rodgers Townsend DDB, working on Valvoline, AT&T, YellowstonE Bourbon and a purple Mop Called Rejuvenate.
Today I WRITE FOR Subaru of America at Carmichael Lynch.
I still want to play for the Cubs.
