Professional statement

Companies hire me when growth requires change and taking market share is the goal.

Over two decades that has meant launching breakthrough technology before competitors could catch up, modernizing legacy businesses, and repositioning established brands against companies with far bigger budgets — by bringing together culture, strategy, creative talent, new systems, and platforms.

At TCL that meant two consecutive years as Circana’s fastest-growing consumer electronics brand in the U.S., a 97% year-over-year jump in the flagship TV category, and a 23% lift in ROAS. A decade earlier it meant being part of the team that created Sizzl, the world’s first bacon dating app, which beat Tinder’s download numbers in week one.

Beyond the resume

The bullets don’t cover the bull riding.

Born and raised in Wyoming, where I was an experienced bull rider before I ever wrote a brief. Eight seconds teaches you more about risk than any MBA.

Three-time NCAA All-American diver and three-time team captain, which is where the preparation obsession comes from. I studied painting with Ted Waddell, which is where the creative conviction comes from. The sneaker collection is where the discretionary income goes.

Home is Los Angeles, my partner, and a Pomeranian who believes he runs the household. He’s not entirely wrong.
