In 2001, I was a teenager posing as a film buff when I heard about BMW’s The Hire. The series featured the best directors, the coolest actor, and an iconic brand, delivered via DVD for a small shipping fee. Little did I realize this would ignite a lifelong passion for merging creativity and commerce - and my DVD investments would soon become worthless.

I went on to study Marketing at New York University, and then played professional poker across Europe before starting a career in advertising. Since then, I have worked at top creative advertising agencies in New York and San Francisco, including R/GA, Translation and Argonaut.

Now, I am an award-winning Executive Brand Director with a track record of success across a wide range of industries and clients, including Verizon, Samsung, Facebook, Uber, State Farm, Citibank and Pernod Ricard.

Many of the projects I have led have been recognized at the Effies, One Show, D&AD, ANDYs, Clios, Cannes, and more.

In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, cycling, woodworking, and conjuring up random business ideas. Let’s talk about laundromats, shall we?
