B I O

I produced Dos Equis’ "The Most Interesting Man in the World" — named one of Ad Age’s Top 15 Campaigns of the 21st Century.

For 25+ years, I’ve turned ambitious ideas into award-winning global campaigns for Google, the NBA, Volvo, Coca-Cola, Visa, Intel, Pinterest, Yeezy, Volkswagen +

As Head of Content, North America @ Havas + Arnold, I led a 130-person team across six offices, maximizing staff utilization and growing studio revenue by 200%. I co-developed and scaled an ambitious social content model that bridged senior-level strategy with execution to deliver measurable growth.

Today, I combine Cannes- and Effie-winning production experience with AI-native creative workflows—helping agencies and brands work faster, smarter, and without sacrificing craft. I’ve continued investing in AI through executive education at Northwestern and Google. I believe the future of creative production belongs to leaders who embrace emerging technology while preserving the craft that makes the work great.

My network includes:
– A-list production + post houses
– A-list directors, editors + photographers
– AI-first creative technologists
– Culturally dialed-in content creators
– Artists you listen to

Select milestones:
– Volvo "Life on Board”: Cannes Titanium + Cyber Lions; produced for Amsterdam office; managed budget in four currencies
– Coca-Cola: Co-led the strategic reset and staffing of the brand’s Social Center at Atlanta HQ
– Advisory Board Member, Supernova: Emerging tech-forward production company
– Havas “Star” Award: Top 25 of 11,000+ global employees
– Director of Production @ Visa: Launched profit-optimizing model for large-scale campaigns

Representative collaborators:
– Artists: Kanye West, Brian Eno, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Lil Yachty, Chance the Rapper, Massive Attack, Vince Staples +
– Directors/Photographers: Tony Kaye, TRAKTOR, Eric Wareheim (Tim & Eric), Calmatic, Dante Ariola, Dave Meyers, Bryce Dallas Howard, Errol Morris, Tarsem, Daps, Roman Coppola, Albert Watson, Platon +
– Actors/Personalities: Kevin Hart, Druski, Matthew McConaughey, Rebel Wilson, Josh Ostrovsky (@thefatjewish), Willem Dafoe, Sally Field, Gabriel Macht (“Suits”) +
– Athletes: Peyton Manning, Lamar Jackson, Puka Nacua, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Candace Parker, Phil Mickelson, Bethany Hamilton (surfer) +

I’m focused on Executive Producer, Head of Production, and Head of Content opportunities with ambitious agencies, brands, and creative technology companies. Based in Minneapolis; available nationwide.
