Creative Director. Photographer. Fly Fishing Guide. Martial Arts Instructor. Army Vet. Dad. Coloradan with Southern roots.

Built my leadership approach with 14 different shops around the US and Canada. (Never been fired or laid-off.) Always focused on smart growth and shared value through partnerships with bold thinking, like-minded brands, products, causes and organizations. New business junkie currently batting over .500 on new biz wins in the last 7 years at K/H. Experienced living in a lot of places while leading the creative ideas on some of the world’s most recognized brands, companies, products, politicians and social causes. Won some awards. Selected to AdWeek’s Creative All-Star Team. 2019 Kelly Award Winner (Best Magazine Campaign in the Country) for Aspen “Give A Flake” ads calling out key Senators on climate change.
