A little more about me
Hi. I'm an award-winning freelance creative director, writer, and director, having produced work for clients like IBM, Lowe’s, The Weather Company, Dropbox, Ping Identity, and PayPal.
I've been creating content since the golden days of VHS, making dubbed kung fu movies with a Sony camcorder from my small-town home. After attending film school and completing an MFA in creative writing at the University of Colorado, Boulder, I went on to write/direct my short cliché and write No-Good Maxine, both of which enjoyed success at film festivals throughout North America.
I live in Denver, Colorado, with my wife, three kids, two dogs, and a cat named David Letterman.
