I was featured in the Lego Magazine at age 7. (Dont believe me? Link.)
I haven’t stopped building since. Not Legos. (Well, sometimes.) But brands.
Right now, for one of the most iconic brands in the world - Harley-Davidson. (Just started. New work to come …)
Before bikes, I spent 7 years on Porsche. Creating everything from global campaigns and big budget films to a collection of sneakers, a Star Wars spaceship, and a helmet to save windshield-bound bugs. I’ve launched every model of Porsche there is. Most twice.
Before that, I learned the value of activations over traditional ads at CP+B. And convinced hockey players to swim in a pool and turned Mr. Potato Head into a cannibal while at BBDO.
I love simple. I love craft. I love inspiring teams to make the best work they’ve ever made.
I don’t really love emails, but if it leads to the stuff above, by all means.
