Wait, you wanna know more about me? Cool. I must be doing something right!
I started my career in advertising as a Jr. Copywriter at Arnold Worldwide where I eventually worked my way up to EVP/Group Creative Director. I developed breakthrough creative for established brands like the anti-Big Tobacco movement Truth, Monster.com, Stop & Shop, Southern Comfort, The Hartford and Pearle Vision before focusing my attention on running McDonald’s, the agency’s largest, most complex piece of business. Freelancing has given me the opportunity to work with smaller brands like e-commerce DTC start-up Force of Nature.
I’m a roll-up your sleeves kind of manager. My goal is always to elevate the work, but I also jump in and concept or write whenever and wherever needed. My style is collaborative. I believe that’s the way you get the best creative. I love solving problems, developing killer insight-driven strategies that deliver big ideas and helping brands succeed. Also, I believe work should be fun. Especially the kind of work we do.
I grew up in Wayland, MA and was voted Most Likely to Get an Ulcer by my high school classmates. From there I attended Colgate University where I majored in psychology and minored in keg stands (that’s what happens when you join the rugby team). I currently live in Boston’s South End where I’ve somehow managed to avoid getting ticketed or towed for eight years straight. I’m addicted to pizza, the NYT crossword, Netflix and my nieces & nephews. I have yet to develop an ulcer.
