About me
I began my advertising career in the fast lane taking home Gold in the Cannes Young Lions competition. While it skyrocketed my career, I firmly believe the most important thing is creative that works. And the people you get to create with. In my mind, an agency's business and culture thrive when the people come first.
Over the past 10+ years, I have worked on a slew of brands including Diageo, Air Canada, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Reel Start, Pinball Clemons Foundation, Rolex, Air Miles, Prestige, Toronto Pflag, Hilton and Maple Leaf Foods.
As Creative Director at FUSE Create, I have been instrumental in the agency’s transformation, going from a small below the line agency to the number three small agency in Canada in just two years.
Before FUSE Create, I was the Associate Creative Director at OneMethod, where I played a critical part in growing the business. As a creative leader, I fostered a culture where people felt empowered and as a result, the work became even more effective and provocative.
Prior to OneMethod I honed my craft at J. Walter Thompson (now Wunderman Thompson) in both New York and Toronto and was named Canada's High Impact Performer - an initiative that names top talent in the network every year. While it's nice to be recognized, I also believe it's important to give back to the creative community. I have judged a number of industry award shows, I have taught at OCAD U, and I continue to mentor young talent in the industry.
I'm married to an Australian chef and have two young daughters. For obvious reasons, we spend much of our time in the kitchen and playing with Barbie’s Dreamhouse kitchen too.
