I’m a west coast native who’s been proud to call Seattle home for more than thirty years.

I’m a father, a husband, a mentor, and a loyal friend.

I love shoes, but I hate wearing them.

I have a brain that just doesn’t turnoff—there’s always something brewing; product or feature enhancements, campaign concepts, cataloging inspiration, etc.

I have a knack for remembering names and faces—sometimes it’s crazy! I mean put me in a room of analysts, PMs, devs, stakeholders, etc… chances are, I know ‘em.

I love design (expression, product, and advertising)—the purpose, the people, the process, and the work.  I consider myself very fortunate to have made a career in this industry and can’t imagine doing anything else.

Given my industry run and the value I place on relationships, I’m well connected with a huge network of colleagues and clients.

I believe in…
Setting the tone with a personal connection.
The power of relationships.
Leading through empathy, inclusivity, and trust.
Talking less and listening more.
Rooting solutions in human truth.
Contextualizing the benefit.
Providing options.
Authenticity over perfectionism.
Running the ball on second and goal from the one.
Work worth doing, is worth doing properly.
Knowing when to pull-up and shoot.
The best ideas come from from partnership.
And, telling it like it is.

I’m casual, and always good for a coffee, a beer, and a chat. Gimme a shout.
