| about: | I am a Brown grad and XC/track alum with experience in startups, digital/TV/film production, and advertising. I helped create a startup in Boston called Hangout Industries that was Highland and Polaris funded and went on to '08 TechCrunch50. I did production freelance work in NYC on Gatorade Replay, MTV's Making the Band, and a Dave Matthews Band music video. I became the Manager of Innovations at Initiative in LA, where I worked with startups to create new ad models and never-been-done executions for clients such as Dr Pepper, Hyundai, and Lionsgate. I won a Gold OMMA and represented Initiative US on their Worldwide Creativity Council. I was 1st in the US and 3rd in the World in the Cannes Young Lions advertising competition - the top honor for ad professionals under 30. I was the West Coast Director of Branded Entertainment for Ensemble under Scott Donaton - Author, Madison & Vine, Editor of Ad Age, and Publisher of Entertainment Weekly. I created and produced original content with world's leading creative talent (writers, producers, directors, etc) for clients such as BMW, L'Oreal, and MillerCoors. I won a Bronze Cannes Lion for my work on Denny's "Always Open" digital series. I'm a runner, a lover of great stories, and an idea man. I thrive on enthusiasm! |
