I am the grandson of a Los Angeles Cadillac dealer, and the distant ancestor of a violent Scottish clan. A career in creative advertising calls for a diverse skill set, so a gift for selling (plus willingness to give a little blood) has served me well.

That diverse skill set is a background in Art Direction and a degree in Political Science. It's a love of pictures and film (first job Miramax), paired with an ability to write. I am the partner of Account Planners, and sometimes the competition for commercial film directors. I am, in the end, a lot of things.

A child of 1970s New York City, my job took my family and I to Hamburg, Germany where I could bike along a lake to work, murmur restaurant-level german and lead a global client. We returned to NYC in 2016 to work independently, and tackle the next adventure.
