An experienced award-winning creative leader with a team obsession, a passion for problem-solving and a mania for mentoring. An extraordinary presenter with a long history of new business wins. And, as with my wee moppet twins, awards by the pant-load.

Forget the mail room. I started as a janitor at D’Arcy, scraping gum off the sidewalks of Mad Ave, while at NYU for Political Theory, Comparative Religion and – at the mighty Tisch – Film. Along with non-paying gigs at CBGBs and spinning actual vinyl on WNYU-FM, I endlessly sought to absorb every tidbit of knowledge from every possible perspective. Still do.

My odd background provides me with a unique POV. Always excited and unceasingly amused by problem-solving and learning, I pursue the integration of the single idea across the ever-expanding list of channels and touch-points. My notorious enthusiasm is wildly contagious – to agency and client alike – encouraging a culture that relishes the hunt for new-fangled solutions on every project.

I can't help it, I love this stuff.

Over the years, I've been truly fortunate to work beside some incredible people at some terrific agencies with some good clients and create some genuinely fine work.

For a guy who started out cleaning toilets, I think that's pretty good.
