Freelance ACD level interactive/writer
Atlanta, Georgia
Hi there. Thank you for taking time to get to know me and some of the work I've been part of. Over the past 16 years, advertising (for the most part) has been good to me. That said, I couldn't have accomplished all this alone and am humbly grateful to every art director, creative director, brand planner, production team, account executive and even the often forgotten project manager who's had an integral part in bringing every idea to life.

The Creative Circus—Senior Copy Advisor
I've always wanted to be a leader/teacher/motivator. The Circus gave me the opportunity. For the past six years, I've been dropping words of wisdom doing my part to make advertising better.
