My foray into advertising started with a simple “why not.”

I wasn’t an ad student, and I bombed my first interview in the industry by replying to a question about any recent ads I liked with:

“I’m not sure, I’m a chord cutter.”

You live and you learn.

I later got my start in Account Management at McGarryBowen and used my creative chops to convince everyone that I was cut out for the job. Three name changes later, I’m still with that same company (I think) and use that same creativity for a greater good (I think). Work with me while you can still afford me and tell your kids about it down the road. If you’ve read this far, I apologize.

Some additional quick hits:

• A map of Middle-Earth hangs above my bed (for quick reference)

• I have a fascination with all things gorillas and apes

• Here we go Steelers
