By day, I’m an associate creative director of copy. By night, I’m a bass player with a record collection that’s slowly taking over my upstairs bedroom and threatening to annex the hall closet.
I’ve spent 15 years writing campaigns that sell banks, bourbon and the occasional animatronic dinosaur exhibit. I’ve also written emails no one wanted, scripts everyone revised and taglines that stuck around longer than anyone expected. If it involves words, I’ve probably wrestled with it — and maybe even won.
I was born and raised in a town small enough to have a single stoplight and big enough to shape me anyway. My twin brother, Kyle, played piano like he was telling the truth. I try to do the same with words.
My style? Deliberate. Lean. A little crooked, when it helps the story. I like metaphors that earn their keep and headlines that don’t waste time. I avoid -ly adverbs the way some people avoid eye contact.
I live in Louisville with my wife, our daughter (an illustrator in the making) and a Morkie who thinks he’s people.
This site is my pitch: for projects, collaborations or whatever’s next. So, if you’re into clarity with a side of clever, we might get along.
