When I was a kid, I used to get in trouble for making up stories, drawing on walls and singing too loudly. Now, I get paid.

Creatively my career has touched on a deliciously broad base of disciplines. This variety of successful expression has made me a savvy creative director and an exceptional team manager. I am comfortable presenting in the boardroom and at home walking a project site with vendors.
