At the heart of every strategy, campaign, and decision I make, there’s a steadfast principle: do the right thing. This isn’t just a mantra; it’s a deep-seated belief nurtured by my family’s ethos: Live right, and things will take care of themselves. It’s this foundation that drives me to be customer-obsessed, viewing each brand and company as a unique entity, each deserving its distinct, well-crafted marketing journey.
I thrive in the complex world of marketing, relishing in the challenges it presents. Whether it’s solving intricate marketing problems, crafting optimized customer journeys, or navigating the unpredictable terrain of markets, my philosophy is simple: remain rational, even when markets defy logic. After all, “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
Leadership, to me, isn’t about titles or hierarchies. It’s about standing in the trenches with my teams, facing customers head-on, and ensuring each team member has the support and guidance they need. My leadership style is anchored in a simple pledge: I’ll remove roadblocks in your path, stand by your side in the face of challenges, and be there to pick you up when you stumble. But, each person must play their part, for a cohesive unit is greater than the sum of its parts.

Together, we’ve navigated turbulent waters, crafted award-winning campaigns, and ensured our customers always stood at the forefront of our strategies.
Beyond the confines of boardrooms and corporate strategies, I’m an individual fueled by adrenaline and a penchant for craftsmanship. Motorcycles, wakeboarding, target archery, fast cars — each activity is a testament to precision, balance, and the thrill of the chase. Yet, it’s not just about speed or thrill; it’s also about creation. Building things, be it with wood or metal, is a testament to my belief in constructing legacies that last.
My journey since 1997 has introduced me to thousands of customers, each with their stories, challenges, and visions. This vast tapestry of experiences has reinforced one truth: no two customers are identical. Thus, I listen, learn, and solve — ensuring each strategy is as unique as the brand it represents.
Away from work, I believe in giving back. Beyond my significant contributions to charities, I’m on the cusp of joining a non-profit board, ready to make a tangible difference in the community.
In life and work, my pursuit is simple: happiness and good health. It’s the cornerstone of everything I do, the guiding light in decisions big and small.

These aren’t just professional milestones or accolades but moments where I felt an undeniable connection to the essence of genuine leadership. And at the core of each memory lies a straightforward conviction: always strive to do the right thing.
It might sound like a mere platitude to some, but for me, it’s the North Star that’s guided my every step. Each brand, each campaign, each client I’ve had the privilege of working with has taught me something invaluable. In turn, I’ve always endeavored to provide them with solutions that resonate authentically, celebrating their individuality.
