[ insert pithy witticism here ]

I help businesses win the daily share battle one WORD at a time. 

Now that we've gotten the token header out of the way… Hi! I am a creative writer who composes copy to influence consumers. I am a musician who writes words and music to stir emotions. I am an author who tells a bit of history. I am that I am, or something like that. 

I am a lover of the written word, cinema, esoteric philosophy, American political history, football, and pithy witticisms (see above).

I started my career as a professional musician (that's me playing drums in the video above). I have performed in arenas and clubs to backyards, for as many 60,000 people and as few as, well… how many people can you fit in your basement? I’ve been fortunate enough perform on the same bill with artists as diverse as KISS, The Guess Who, Run-DMC, Joe Cocker, Motorhead, Cypress Hill, Bad Brains, Cheap Trick and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, just to name a few. I have had music featured on TV shows, such as: Dawson’s Creek (The WB), The Shield (FX), Nip/Tuck (FX), Degrassi High (CBC), MTV, American Journal (ABC) and ESPN Extreme Games.

After spending six-and-a-half years at Hill Holliday, I am currently an Associate Creative Director at GYK Antler in Boston, MA, where I’ve been for three years.

I have worked with a broad variety of clients writing TV, Radio, OOH, POP, DMB, OLA, Print, Direct Mail, Internal Communications, Brand Guidelines, Product Names, Website Copy and Content, and/or Social Copy for: Boston Bruins, Dunkin' Donuts, Bank of America, NFL, Party City, Chili's, Stop & Shop, Optum Health, Simple Mobile, The Boston Pops, John Hancock Life Insurance, John Hancock Investments, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Liberty Mutual Commercial Insurance, Boston Harbor Distillery, Harpoon Brewery, Long Trail Brewing Co., Carlson Orchards, New Hampshire Lottery, New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs, New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development, Sweet Baby Ray's, Tufts Medicine, Bank of Clarke, Nuvance Health, Hometown Financial Group, Ken's Salad Dressing, Team IMPACT, Shark/Ninja, Noble & Cooley Drums, Atlas Experiences, Windrose Advisors, YORK Athletics, NECCO, Capella University, Strayer University, Ad Council, American Lung Association, Frontier Communications, Planet Fitness, Cracker Barrel, Robert Half, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, Boar’s Head, Santander Bank, and Tempur-Pedic.

I am a New England Emmy, Hatch, Hermes, BMA, Telly, A.V. Club, MassCann/NORML, Do617, and Shorty Award winner.
