“I don’t dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I’m dreaming for a living.” — Steven Spielberg

That's always been me. No matter if it's small dreams, day dreams, or pipe dreams it all comes back to pushing for more to make those dreams a reality. It's gotten me this far. So I'll just keep on living this dream.

FREELANCE

2019 TO PRESENT

Creative Director

Started as a junior art director and finished my tenure as ACD. Helped to win the PNC Bank pitch, I continued to work on the account for 10 years. I lead and mentored multiple junior creatives, have produced major-brand campaigns, executed dozens of LOB campaigns for social, traditional and experiential and even created a chatbot. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed the ability to work autonomously, challenge the status quo, and multi-task under tight timelines.

Worked on direct marketing for the brew-it-yourself coffee brand, Gevalia Kaffe. Concepted and produced multiple direct mail campaigns while gaining an appreciation for the lost art of print production. I finally overcame my fear of public speaking.

Enlisted to get away from my hometown in Northern Virginia and see the world. My duty was to fix mission-critical radars and top secret communications equipment during deployments. I then became one of three primary repair instructors at the largest naval school for LF, HF, and VHF communications. I also became night-shift military police so I could continue my undergraduate education.
