“Dad I want to go to art school”. Eight words that an executive business dad apparently doesn’t want to hear. But after days of negotiation and countless bribes I was on my way to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to study visual communication and graduated with a BFA. My passion quickly became problem solving and integrated advertising became my arena.
I’ve worn all the hats in my creative career. Being nimble has kept me in a solid ring of cool cats having fun and getting experience in many areas. I love being a creative. Sure I have battle bruises from late nights and some killed ideas but I’ve earned them. As well as that extra glass of vino after work.
Accounts I’ve worked on include: ALDI, Whirlpool, Kitchen-Aid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, BP, Sprint, Emerson, Kimberly-Clark, KAO, Sara Lee, and Morton.
My non-advertising passions? Cooking, spinning, oil painting, my 3 crazy dogs and animal welfare.
Overall I believe we work better as a team and no idea is a bad idea. In the words of former Chicago Cubs coach Joe Maddon: Just try not to suck.
