PERSONAL WORDS

Thanks for stopping by. If we haven't met, I'm a veteran west coast copywriter and creative director with experience across b-to-c, b-to-b, from copywriting to strategy. My career has taken me to leadership roles at Deutsch in LA and Hal Riney in San Francisco, as well as penning award-winning work at 72 & Sunny, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Team Detroit. These days, I embrace a modern model—crafting work of all kinds for Rule of 3 Agency (my own gig) as well as driving brand impact with eMaxx Partners and still supporting big agencies as a plug-in sparkplug. 

 

I often get calls for the “tough stuff," making it relatable to a specialized audience. Account experience? Well, let's see ... the list includes tech brands like Samsung, Apple, DIRECTV and HP, car companies like Hyundai and Ford, restaurant chains like Boudin SF and BJ's Restaurants & Brewhouse, and financial services clients ranging from Parametric Portfolio Partners (Morgan Stanley) to Lending Club. I've won my share of awards—including penning  one of Adweek's Best Spots of the Decade— but I'm equally proud of the impact I've brought to today's emerging brands. My wife and I live in Marin County, CA. I'm a proud father of two great sons and an avid tennis player—if you want someone to hit with! Work good, tennis good—reach out!
