I’m a problem solver first and foremost. The lens I apply just happens to be a creative/strategic one. It’s what gets me out of bed each morning. It’s what keeps me excited about working in this field. And, I believe it’s at the core of any great solution. Don’t start with the medium. Start with the message.
I’ve been lucky enough to solve problems in a variety of roles and industries from film/television, to Internet start-ups and journalism. These days I do it as a Creative Director in advertising.
My other passion is building culture and people. I believe culture is an organization’s killer advantage and creative departments are uniquely positioned to be the engines of that culture. So, I spend a good deal of my time making my agency a fun and stimulating place that gets people excited about coming to work. And, I set aside time for regular mentoring and managing people because people need to know where they stand and where they are going. (And we generally do a terrible job of this in advertising). It’s important.
That’s me. Thanks for stopping by my site. If you want to chat, feel free to reach out. I’m always up for an interesting conversation.
