I grew up thinking I’d end up somewhere in theatre — small stages, bigger ideas, memorizing lines that weren’t mine yet. That instinct never really left; it just found a new stage in advertising, where the audience got bigger and the lines got shorter.
These days I split my time between Chicago and wherever a shoot happens to be — writing scripts, building brand systems, and occasionally still stepping in front of a camera when a project asks for it. Music shows up more than people expect; writing lyrics and writing copy scratch the same itch.

“…beyond his role, whether it’s crafting a strategy, jumping into production, or even recording a musical track to sell an idea. A true unicorn—fearless under pressure and an instant shot of quality to the arm of any team.”
