About

I learned early on in my career that what motivates me is promoting brands that I truly love. I can't be an authentic storyteller if I don't actually believe in what I’m advocating for. There is nothing more rewarding than coming up with an idea that creates a groundswell of media chatter and more importantly seeing the impact it makes on a brand… small, medium or large. I excel in strategically positioning brands, products and services through media relations, competitive messaging, stakeholder communications and thought leadership, and have executed integrated marketing campaigns for B2B and B2C companies ranging from growth stage to Fortune 500-sized brands, resulting in measurable increases in awareness, SEO, adoption, revenue and venture capital funding. I'm always interested in meeting new people, sharing ideas and learning new tricks of the trade. I'm a family man, sports card enthusiast, pop-culture junkie, lover of music and film...and coffee sipper. Always up for meeting over coffee!
