In 2024, after 25 years running an ad agency with as many as 17 employees, I stepped away—not because I was done working, but because I was ready to focus on something specific.
Less noise, less busywork, and more clarity, impact, and meaningful progress.
I’ve found that I enjoy the one-on-one work this new chapter affords me—helping people cut through the clutter and move forward with confidence.
I’m a father of three, and every day, I try to teach my kids what it means to look someone in the eye, shake their hand, say please and thank you, and follow through on their promises.
Those things still matter.
Maybe more now than ever.
I’ve always found myself acting as a bridge—deciphering, translating, helping others make sense of what’s in front of them.
I believe most problems—in business and life—come down to understanding and communication.
And I believe in function over form, substance over flash, and that common sense isn’t as common as it should be.
I love summers at camp and winters on the ski slopes (mostly avoiding trees). I think A1 steak sauce is a national treasure.
And I believe that the best conversations happen when people are willing to be real with each other.
Perhaps we'll have a real conversation soon.
