I am a grown-up copywriter and creative director who makes things that get noticed and get written about. My work has appeared in nearly every medium and won most industry awards in multiple colors.

I’m originally from the land of sensible haircuts, Iowa. I get my hands dirty, work fast and spend my time doing the work more than talking about what makes good work.

I’ve made advertising-ish things for Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Meta Quest, Xbox, Workday, Oracle, Clorox, ConAgra Foods, Wells Fargo, Allstate, DieHard, Craftsman, Sears, Citi, United Airlines, Hotels.com, Miller Brewing Company, Dave & Busters, Tourism Australia, Barilla, and more.

I’ve worked with the fine folks at Meta, 215McCann, Mekanism, DDB, LeoBurnett, Y&R (now VML), EuroRSCG (now Havas), Fallon, Saatchi & Saatchi as a Creative Director and copywriter in San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis and New York.

I studied writing and marketing at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I learned concept and craft inside boutiques and global agencies, and the creative basics at M.AdSchool in Minneapolis.

My work has been written about and talked about by The New York Times, Axios, Wall Street Journal, Wired, Fast Company, Make Magazine, Contagious, Campaign, Communication Arts, Creativity, Comedy Central, Luerzer’s Archive, AdWeek, AdAge and more.
