I've spent 30+ years trying to make things people actually remember. That started as a copywriter and evolved into leading some of the world's most recognized creative work — Nike, Old Spice, Coca-Cola, Levi's — at Wieden+Kennedy, and eventually founding my own agency, Opinionated, in Portland.
Outside the work, I'm drawn to science fiction that wrestles with big questions about identity and reality — Philip K. Dick has been a long-running obsession. That curiosity about "what if" tends to bleed into how I think about brands and storytelling.
I co-produced the short film Tempbot with director Neill Blomkamp, which scratched a lifelong itch to work on the other side of the screen.
Founded independent creative agency in Portland, OR. Clients included Adidas, Drumstick, and Panda Express. Agency was acquired by Tombras in January 2026.
Joined as copywriter in 1999. Named Executive Creative Director of the Portland office in 2008, became a Partner, then elevated to Global Co-ECD in 2013, overseeing 1,600 employees across 8 offices worldwide. Led iconic campaigns for Nike, Old Spice, Coca-Cola, P&G, and Levi's. Agency had its best financial year on record in his final year at the helm.
