I am a grown-up copywriter and creative director who creates ideas that get noticed and get written about. My work has appeared in nearly every medium, every format and won most every industry award in several different colors. I’m originally from the land of sensible haircuts, Iowa. You’ll find me doing work more than talking about what makes work good.

EXPERIENCE:
I work at Meta in San Francisco & Menlo Park as part of CreativeX, the in-house agency for Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Quest, Horizon and corporate initiatives.

I used to work at 215 McCann, Mekanism, DDB, LeoBurnett, Y&R, Euro RSCG and Fallon. I freelanced at Deutsch, Saatchi, Leo Burnett, Swirl McGarryBowen and more.

I’ve made advertising-ish work for Facebook, Instagram, Meta Quest, Meta Horizon, Xbox, DieHard, Miller Brewing Company, Clorox, Oracle, Charles Schwab, WellsFargo, Allstate, Sears, Craftsman, Citi, Invesco, Hotels.com, P&G, Nordstrom, ConAgra Foods and more.

EDUCATION

I studied writing and marketing at The University of Iowa in Iowa City, graduating with degrees in journalism and marketing. After a taste of advertising, I learned the basics of concept and craft at M.Ad School in Minneapolis.
