ABOUT

I use the word “concept” as a verb. So sue me.

Me, in a nutshell.

I’m a native Oregonian, so I remember Portland before it became Portlandia.

I have a wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters. In my world, the present is female.

Saul Goodman, Clark Griswold and Larry David are my spirit animals.

Now, the work stuff.

I’m a copywriter by trade, a content conceputal-izer by heart, I dabble as a video director on much of the content I work on, and am currently an agency creative director. I have over 20 years of copywriting and advertising experience, and over 10 years creative direction experience, guiding teams and clients while mentoring creatives on an array of brands across a multitude of categories.

I also was head writer of a sports comedy startup in 2010. Now I just troll sports writers on Twitter.

Here’s a handful of the brands I’ve helped craft campaigns for: Columbia Sportswear, Adidas, Intel, Wendy’s, T-Mobile, Microsoft + NFL, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger, The Ad Council, Pyramid Brewing, Pac-12 Networks, Keen, Yakima Racks
