  • Experience
    • Associate Creative Director; Writer
      The Engine Room
      Jan 2013 - Present (13 years 5 months)
      A good creative pro is actually a good problem solver. That's where the fun is and where results come from. The goal isn't to finish the project on time: It's to solve the problem on time.

      I slice and dice the assignment, get to the core of the challenge, and pull together fresh project solutions. Then I create great concepts, headlines and copy for print ads, postcards, banner ads, email campaigns, text ads and every piece of collateral--whatever is needed.

      And when I team up with Steve Lauri, creative director and principal of The Engine Room, I'm able to offer clients successful copy+design solutions. We've produced some cool solutions for Hyundai, whatismyIPaddress.com and more.

      See what an experienced copywriter (that strives for results) can do for your under-performing creative.
