I can tell a story about anything, except myself.

I currently work in technology sales. Before that, politics. Both are excellent places to learn persuasion and terrible places to do anything creative with it.

At some point, I decided portfolio school was the move. My wife was in her third trimester. Timing has never been my strongest skill.

I’m now a new dad to two baby girls (human daughter not pictured), which means I work fast, edit ruthlessly, and don’t romanticize late nights.

I collect hobbies: bagpiping, mycology, and whatever else my curiosity latches onto. It’s less “well-rounded” and more “chronically interested.”

I’m unusually plugged into culture. I tend to see things early, connect patterns quickly, and follow ideas until they either explode or disappear. Algorithms have a hard time with me. I’m interested in too many things for them to keep up.

If you want a copywriter who thinks before writing, sweats the details, and doesn’t take himself too seriously, we should probably talk.
