“Curiosity about life in all of its apsects, I think, is the secret of great creative people”
As a seasoned creative team lead/mentor and designer by trade, I have over 23 years of diverse creative experience. My voice and vision have driven results for a wide range of brands from finance to healthcare, including household names and specialized markets, from local efforts to full blown national campaigns.
My leadership has resulted in both new business wins and award recognition in a wide range of markets. In the past, I ran my own design firm and helped redefine category expectations with award-winning, integrated campaigns for brands like Hilton Worldwide Resorts, General Electric, Three Olives Vodka, NASCAR, PGA National, Adventist Health Systems and many others. Today, I am a creative lead at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and responsible for a wide range of firm-wide national and global initiatives.
I believe in the value of an integrated approach that touches all stakeholders involved with a brand. Not just the breakthrough but bankable, my work has generated great business results for the brands under my leadership.

EXTRAS:
I am an avid waterman and natural athlete. In my youth, I played Junior Hockey with the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers in the Atlantic Junior Hockey League (AJHL), was the captain of my high school hockey club in West Chester, Pennsylvania from freshmen through my senior year. Not to mention I was also a heck of a ball player as well, playing American Legion for Chester County and Varsity for high school.
I am a natural leader, and have an uncanny ability to see the big picture. I am a confident, passionate and collaborative professional as well as a great motivator and mentor. When I’m not working, you will find me spending time with family, traveling all over hell’s half acre for my kids’ youth sports, going on the occasional surf trip, catching big fish with light tackle and hanging out with close friends.
