I like stories.

Short stories. Long stories. Ones that make you laugh and cry. My own story has a few interesting chapters. I live in Chicago. Went to college in Indiana. I worked in a restaurant in France. I was in a comedy group called The Performance Ranch. I’ve directed plays, films, and commercials. While represented by ICM, I wrote and sold several screenplays, including a chimp movie made by Disney (yes, a chimp movie). I work in advertising. I’ve been at big agencies, small agencies, and small agencies I've helped make big. I’ve opened, built, and sold my own agency. I've run an agency inside an agency. I’ve turned receptionists into copywriters. I’ve turned copywriters and art directors into creative directors. I’ve helped cats get along with dogs. And I’ve had the pleasure of creating stories for brands I love. I've won my share of awards. I am an Eagle Scout. I am a people person. I am related to a Guinness World Record holder. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa. I have an indoor dog, an outdoor cat, two boys, and one lovely wife.  But enough about me.
