THE WORK
This is some of the work I’ve done over the years. I had a blast creating these. I met the Hoff, time-traveled to WWII, shook hands with Vikings, and lived to tell the tale.
Car Week: Battle of the Supercars
Need a face-melting montage? Well, I’ve got you covered. Knight Rider, The A-Team, and C.H.I.P.S. collide in a glorious celebration of 80s TV and cars. And, of course, we can’t forget The Hoff.
Vikings: Ragnar’s Last Supper
Imagine the iconic Copacabana scene from Goodfellas, but set in 701 AD with Vikings, drenched in dread. That was the inspiration behind this Season 4 trailer. I hope Marty approves.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: Origins
I wanted to visually show the origin story of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, diving into the history of this fertile ground of the unexplained, while keeping it rich with mood, mystery…and maybe a werewolf? And a portal?
The Food That Built America: Combination
The Food That Built America is all about innovative ideas coming together in unexpected ways. So, why not show that on screen by smashing food together as hard as possible? Yeah, we all had to wear aprons and goggles on set because the food was FLYING. Tootsie Pop shrapnel is not messing around!
Alone
Launching Alone was a career highlight. Helping to find a creative way to connect people with what many consider one of the greatest survival experiences in entertainment history brings me immense pride. Over the seasons, the marketing campaigns have continually evolved. Above is our spot for Season 11, where we embraced the creative strategy of highlighting that “It’s Just Different,” emphasizing how unique and extraordinary this show is within the entertainment landscape.
Chase Sapphire: Charlie Trotter
The late, great Charlie Trotter shares what inspired him and his deep love for Chicago. It was one of the great shoots of my life. We bonded over Kubrick and Coppola films and had a great conversation It was truly a blast. Then he treated us to a meal in his restaurant kitchen. He was a true class act, a larger-than-life old-school, Chicago master.
The UnXplained: Shattnered
William Shatner, the legend, guides you through the mysteries of The UnXplained. In the next edition of Webster’s Dictionary, “shattered” will be replaced with “Shatnered.” Yes, that’s right—this spot changed the dictionary.
L’Oreal: Who What Where?
Nia shares her unique fashion style. Creating on-the-street fashion pieces is so much fun—there are so many unique people with distinct styles, and you never know what will happen out there. I’ve got stories.
History’s Greatest Mysteries: Columns
How do we visually personify History’s Greatest Mysteries? As a series of columns, each revealing a new enigma. Morpheus himself, Laurence Fishburne, guides us through the labyrinth. Don’t be scared. I have minotaur repellent.

Explore the rise of food trends with gluten-free options and discover some of the delicious cafés and restaurants innovating in this space. The treats were delicious. I can vouch. I tasted them…you know, to make sure they weren’t poisoned by an assassin. Crew assassins…it’s a thing…seriously.
Swamp People
The pressure is high in the swamp. We created a sonic brand for the Swamp People with this spot, making sure that it “oozed Bayou.”

National History Teacher of the Year

Geico: What Can You Do In 15 Minutes?
Do you have some liquid nitrogen? Do you have some farmers market ingredients? Then you can make some high-end ice cream. But maybe, perhaps, you should just put that liquid nitrogen away, get that tub of Ben & Jerry’s out of the freezer and watch how a daredevil chef makes it happen instead? Also, why do you have liquid nitrogen?
