Six feet, two inches tall and shrinking. Devilishly handsome in an average, forgettable way. Former member of a 50’s-60’s five-man a cappella group in college with a studio album on cassette tape to prove it. Husband to a saint. Father to seven adorable hellions. A copywriter by default. A creative director by sheer stubbornness. An idealist that believes that fervent insight, wicked creativity and inexhaustible humility can solve any business challenge.

NAPA Auto Parts, Frigidaire, GEHA, Yellow Freight, CSL Plasma, Elanco, John Deere, Marley Coffee, BOP, Bridgestone, International Trucks, US Bank, Spire Energy, Kellogg's, Sonic Drive-In, Leinenkugel's, Milwaukee's Best, Barbados Tourism, Yosemite NP, Stren Fishing, Cellular One, Original Juans, Sargento Cheese, Old Wisconsin Sausage, Mercury Marine, CITGO, RJ Reynolds
