copywriter.art director.commercial film director.

in kindergarten, i learned two things. one, five-year-olds are terrible at sharing. and two, you can’t hit people with a tinkerbell lunchbox.

Morgan McNaulty and I were beefing over the one good blue crayon. She was using it aggressively on an already extremely blue sky. Mine was still blank, and I had plans … with birds. I asked nicely. She smirked. I reached. She clutched. I cracked.

Next thing I knew, I was in time-out with a teacher’s note and a drawing that didn’t even make the fridge.

Mrs. Mayo called it “concerning.” My mom called it “embarrassing.” I call it my origin story.

Anyway, if you need someone with a way with words, an eye for art, and an imagination that won’t quit, I’m around.
