Over the course of my career, I've been fortunate to work for a handful of great agencies and collaborate with some really smart, talented people. And in all that time, I've never met a client who didn't have the potential for great work.
Whether overseeing creative for a global brand or working on a small pro-bono project, I like combining creativity and technical know-how to solve problems and produce work that not only entertains, but resonates.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me somewhere in and around Nashville spending time with my family, taking photographs, writing music, or riding a bike.
