Father of four boys, Chicago-raised, now calling Michigan home, but still a loyal Cubs and Bears fan. I bring the same discipline and endurance from completing six marathons, a sprint triathlon, and Tough Mudder races into my creative work, focused, resilient, and built to go the distance. I’m energized by music, entertainment, and staying active, and I believe the best ideas grow from curiosity, movement, and balance. Whether leading creative teams or tackling big challenges, I show up with drive, perspective, and a sense of humor.…Father of four boys, Chicago-raised, now calling Michigan home, but still a loyal Cubs and Bears fan.
