HEY,
I grew up in Southern Illinois.
We had A blinking TRAFFIC light and prevailing Southern Sensibilities.
pearl-button Shirts. Old-Timey 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.
The Turtle I’m holding grew up in Texas.
In college, I met a girl and got a camera to impress her. She was not impressed. So, we got married.
After college, I freelanced as A WRITER AND COMMERCIAL FILMMAKER.
I worked WITH COMPANIES LIKE Nestlé Purina, University of Illinois, LeicA, Spotify, Facebook, DDB, Colorado Tourism aND MORE.
For a year, I worked one-on-one with Rodgers Townsend, founder/CCO, Tom Townsend, who introduced me to writing.
THEN, Luke Sullivan, Rob Schwartz, and Carolyn Hadlock HELPED me get started.
I got my first agency job with Rodgers Townsend DDB.
Today, I WRITE FOR Subaru of America at Carmichael Lynch.
I hope to one day help turtles again.
