about

I’ve had the privilege of working with powerhouse brands like Discovery Channel, NBC Sports, Microsoft Licensing, Porsche Cars North America, and Southwest Airlines. But my real passion? Helping emerging brands find their footing, build momentum, and launch with impact.

I’ve led creative teams, managed high-end video and film post-production facilities, and spent years running my own marketing and PR agency. I bring that full-spectrum experience to every project, blending big-picture thinking with roll-up-your-sleeves practicality.

As a graphic designer and brand strategist, I specialize in shaping brand identities and building campaigns that are not just eye-catching — they’re effective. I help brands define who they are, tell their story, and show up with confidence in a noisy world.

Having been a small business owner myself, I understand the pressures, decisions, and long-game thinking it takes to grow something lasting. That’s why I believe so strongly in the power of an outside perspective — someone who can see opportunities you might miss, and help turn ideas into results.

Over the years, I’ve earned industry recognition with Addy Awards, Tellys, and features in Communication Arts. Those are nice, of course. But the real reward has always been watching a client grow and thrive — seeing a brand come to life, gain traction, and make meaningful connections.

One of the best parts of this work is its variety. No two clients are the same, and no two projects follow the exact same path. I’ve built messaging platforms for national media outlets, designed visual identities for first-time entrepreneurs, and launched campaigns that turned heads — and turned profits. Whether you're rebranding an established business or bringing a new idea to market, I approach every project with fresh eyes and an unwavering focus on results.

I’m proud to call Reno home, and I’m deeply connected to the region — especially the creativity and energy that radiate from this part of the world. Lake Tahoe, in particular, has long been a personal and professional inspiration. It’s a place that reminds me of the balance between clarity and depth — something I aim to bring to every brand I work with.

I live here with my wife of 42 years — my creative sounding board and strongest supporter — and our beloved Corgi, Lola. We’ve raised three successful kids who now have their own creative careers, and I like to think our dinner table played some role in that. There’s something powerful about seeing a family carry forward a love of ideas, storytelling, and impact.

If you’re looking for a creative partner to elevate your brand, clarify your message, or launch your next campaign — let’s connect. I bring the tools, the experience, and the heart to help you move forward with purpose. And if I’m not the right fit? I’ll gladly connect you with someone who is. This work is about relationships, not transactions.

So, whether you’re starting something bold or refining something great, I’d love to hear what you’re building.

Reach out. Let’s create something remarkable.
