About

The guy.

Baby fat: gone. Still a Cubs fan.

I’m a Chicago native who escaped the cold and moved to California in 2014. I worked in television, digital and mobile ad sales for eight years until I could resist my creative urges no longer. Now I make half as much money but have twice as much fun, which evens itself out somehow. I don’t know, I was never good at math.

I turned a four-week freelance contract into a full time profession in 2017. Advertising is the perfect way to use my background in comedy and media to make impactful, lasting work that I care about.
