me, in a nutshell.
I'm a native Floridian (yes, they do exist) who grew up in Ft. Lauderdale playing sports, cracking jokes, spending a lot of time at the beach and reading everything I could get my hands on.
Dad was a cop. Mom was a nurse. My sister is an ASL Interpreter. That's enough good karma for one family, so I majored in Advertising and minored in English on my way to (somehow) graduating from FSU with honors.
After that, I worked my way up from Jr. Copywriter to Copywriter to Sr. Copywriter to ACD to CD. In my career, I've worked on projects big, small and everything in between, but it all boils down to this: I love doing good work for and with good people.
When I'm not doing that, I love brewing my own beer, walking my dog, playing with my two sons and being married to the coolest lady I know.
