ABOUT ME
In a parallel universe where I don't hurt my elbow in high school or flunk my math placement exam for engineering school, I'm the first MLB pitcher in history to work at NASA.
​
In this universe, though, I'm an associate creative director at BarkleyOKRP in Chicago.
​
While working on everything from eComm to branding to 360 campaigns, I've partnered with some of the most talented and creative people on the planet. Together, we've created stuff that transcended advertising and became a part of pop culture.
When I'm not writing ad copy, I write fiction. My latest project in progress is an alternate history sci-fi novel set in the Byzantine Empire.
Outside of writing, I'm an aspiring amateur fighter who has practiced five martial arts. Currently, I'm training my preschooler to become a future world champion.
Brands I've worked on include: Ace Hardware, All-Clad, Brach's, Burger King, Corona Premier, Enfamil, EGO, Illinois Lottery, Illinois Tourism, K-Y, Milwaukee, Metro by T-Mobile, SKIL, T-Fal, Turtle Wax.
