I lead brand messaging and marketing execution.
Since 2004, I’ve worked across both consumer and industrial markets—helping shape the voice of one of America’s most iconic brands, Rawlings Sporting Goods, and building and leading marketing for a national infrastructure company.
As a designer and marketer, I’ve created work for brands like Nike, Coleman, Easton, Crock-Pot, Build-A-Bear, Marvel, Hasbro, and major leagues including MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA, and NHL.
Today, I operate as a full-scope marketing and creative lead—combining design, video, content, and strategy to turn complex ideas into clear, consistent communication that actually gets used.
