Strengths

My strengths lie in creating and selling unique ideas, using storytelling and technology to tell and share stories worth telling and sharing, winning pitches and crucially, mentoring and motivating talent. Something worth knowing about me is that I never, ever give up. 

Maker

I'm a maker-creative director: a conceptor, copywriter, filmmaker and sometimes co-technologist, on every portfolio project. Which is to say, I make things.

Life

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my extraordinary wife Kat, super cool kid Annabelle, sweet dog Tucker and alpha cat Max. Right now I’m either working, playing with Annabelle, watching a movie or talking about a movie I just saw, and how I could make it better. A lot better.
