"I believe in the power of storytelling to motivate and inspire. From the campfire to the web, authentic stories unite communities, build bridges and create connections. Rooted in the primal, human experience of communication, I help my clients harness the power of technology to deliver engaging content to audiences in ways both resonant and meaningful, creating pathways for people, institutions, companies and brands to tell their story. My work connects brands to people and people to brands."
"Some of my favorite projects - looking for the 'best ass' in America for a jeans company, introducing Rushard Cosmetics to the US by creating a credit card that looked like a mirror - we were looking for the most beautiful face in America, introducing 'FaceLift' - a cleansing pad for men to give their face a lift after a long day of work or travel, creating, writing and producing a visually stunning and engaging commercial for Alize Bleu and producing and co-directing a commercial campaign for BBDO/Black and Decker that was awarded the Cannes Lion!"
