A friend once called me a "Creative Has-Been" because the friend said “he has been” so many things.

has been an actor, an author, an avid crafter, a lecturer, an anthropologist, a modern dancer, a guest on the lifestyles of the rich and famous, a pretzel seller, a rogue taxidermist, Grover Cleveland, a bartender, craft-services, a cable access host, a disc jockey, a Mermaid Parade Judge, a life guard, a reality TV producer, a hair model, abducted by pirates off the coast of Timor-Leste, and an alien debunker for William Shatner. I studied Anthropology, which turned out to be the most useful thing I ever did for a career in brand strategy.

For twenty years, I've been a creative director and brand strategist for some of the most demanding brands in the world, including healthcare, sport, fashion, consumer goods, and financial services. I stay close to the work. I lead from a clear point of view. And I'm still making things people don't expect.

What I bring
Creative direction, brand strategy, video production, photography, social branding, design thinking, team building, concepting, client presentation, professional practice development.

Currently
Teaching Taxidermy Culture: The Human Life of Animals through Morbid Anatomy. Serving on the board of The Peale. And run an independent brand strategy and creative practice.

Let’s be Has Beens together
