I'm a Mississippi-based maker and a musician in a past life (Tooth & Nail Records, 20 year reunions yall).
You might have seen my work for NASA, Disney, Warner Bros., or the Truth campaign. I help brands build worlds that feel well worn and human.
Along the way I've picked up a few Cannes Lions, a Clio, a Webby, a One Show, and a Shorty, plus a spot on AdAge's Top 15 Campaigns of the Century.
I've led creative for NASA, Google, Collins, and Meta, helped start creative at Giant Spoon, and rebuilt in-house at Boulevard, after cutting my teeth at Arnold Worldwide and TBWA\Media Arts Lab. Giant Spoon was named Adweek's Breakout Agency of the Year and made AdAge's A-List while I was there.
I'm equally at home leading a team and in the pixels. I just try to make work I'm proud of, and the good stuff almost always comes from good people. If that sounds like you, let's geek.
When I'm not working, I'm outside watching backyard birds, thinking about the future of humankind, or losing hours to a video game in a headset on the moon.
