Seeking…
To continue my journey as advertising Creative Director, writer, mentor, arbiter of creative work, and builder of businesses.
Passions…
I have taught advertising classes and continue to mentor creatives, through my position as Creative Director and more formally through the DDB LaunchPad talent development program.
Other Things I’m Good At…
Adept at several musical instruments including, but not limited to—
Guitar, Hammond organ, and Sousaphone.
I have an inordinate knowledge of relevant, and irrelevant popular culture from the past 100 years. I also pursue collecting items from these eras and clutter my house with them whenever possible.
Where I've lived...
Presently, I have been working in the challenging world of healthcare/wellness. I find both challenging and gratifying as I am actually making a difference in the lives and well-being of people.
Prior to that, I helmed the Amtrak account as VP, Creative Director, at FCB NY on Amtrak, where I co-created their first re-branding campaign in 15 years.
I served as Group Creative Director at DDB NY on the Hertz Car Rental account. Our team re-launched and rejuvenated the brand in traditional, digital and 360. I created the inaugural advertising campaign for Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway and worked on advertising for NY Lottery, Merck, Georgia Pacific, Frigidaire, Diet Pepsi and Bud Light. At DDB, I also helped win new projects for such clients as Lipton Tea, Grolsch Beer and Gibson Guitars.
I've had the honor of working for ad legends and original Mad Men, Charlie Moss and Stan Dragoti as Creative Director for Moss/Dragoti Advertising, responsible for running the creative department and all creative output including CNN, The History Channel, and Hertz.
I reside in Cornwall, NY with my lovely wife, a mushball of a Pitbull, two ungrateful cats, and a sometimes ungrateful son.
