About

I’m a photographer, designer, filmmaker and songwriter. My work has a strong focus on people, place, diversity and authenticity. I like to work collaboratively, forming a detailed approach to every aspect of the creative process. Since 1995, I have worked as a Creative Director for various agencies, working with school districts, cities, startups and entrepreneurs to expand their businesses, increase awareness and engagement, and inspire others,

Over the years, I have partnered with a diverse array of brands from food, sport, public institutions and music. I have a voracious appetite for stories and experiences and a curious mind that keeps me exploring the world around and within.

As an artist and entrepreneur, my work has helped to grow small businesses, revitalize city blocks and inspire positive local action.

My first act as a singer-songwriter won accolades from peers and music critics. In 2012, I was invited to contribute my manuscripts to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Library and Archives.
