Resumé

***Note: Have freelanced by choice (not via battle axe!) over the past 6+ years and enjoy the freedom which freelance affords, however am open to learning about appropriately senior (ACD/CD) FT positions which inspire. Especially those involving music, the arts, multi-media branding, meaningful non-profit messaging or foreign relocation. Copywriting gigs are also welcome. Please request official resumé for more formal details.

*10/2012 Slowly updating portfolio after a long hiatus...stay tuned for new additions.

~ RECENT PROJECTS ~

* Founded charity organization, CARE for Sandy. CARE stands for Cherished Albums Restoration Effort. Our mission is simple: to offer FREE digital restoration services for individuals and families whose salvaged photos have been damaged by October's devastating hurricane. I produce on-premise scanning events in afflicted NJ & NY communities, oversee all restorations, run all aspects of our website and more. Visit to volunteer or connect Sandy victims you might know with retouching experts from around the globe. (Roughly 450 have volunteered since CARE's 11/10/12 inception, representing 22 different countries and cultures. Thousands of photographs and hundreds of families will be receiving CARE for Sandy's assistance.)

We're looking to pair Sandy victims with talented Photoshop wizards — Coroflot users, included! Visit www.careforsandy.org/restoration-specialists to learn how to volunteer.

* Partnered with ECD on :30s for Ronzoni pasta.

* What Deutsch and Grey can't handle, DIRECTV's own micro internal creative team can. I pen headlines & long-form copy, art direct, mechanical paper engineer and even illustrate for multiple divisions. Wing-flapping NFL fairy ceiling danglers, happy hour clocks, interactive iPad ads, pull-tab counter toppers, love motel doorhangers, B2B brochures, 3D New Year's glasses, children's chorus scoring, silk-screened manpurses, pop-up annual reports, magazine glossies + too many other mediums to name have all permeated my stuffed sketchbook and MAC. (Content is entertainment & sports heavy; Have consulted since August of 2009.)

* Always busy penning crossword puzzles. (2 new national syndicates in the works!!!)

* Co-founded SIDESHOWS LLC, a company/festival moniker conceived in tandem with the Big Apple Circus in Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center in New York City. Original intent? An 8-16 event music-meets-the-circus-under-the-big-top extravaganza with an estimated inaugural season attendance of 8,000-10,000. The recession thwarted our most ambitious efforts, however Time Magazine deemed our premiere evening (DeVotchka, Angus & Julia Stone + motley circus performers) "one of the best" of 2010.

Our group was the first to have presented ticketed music events in the big top in 33 years (since BAC's first season at Lincoln Center), which certainly captured the attention of competitive bookers, who attempted to stage events in our wake.

Talent coordination, sponsorship corralling, general production, design, writing, research, IA and guerilla marketing efforts. You name it. I tasked it. (*SIDESHOWS has future non-circus related music events up its future sleeve.)
