I’m in it for the story.
I’ll go just about anywhere and try just about anything. I love having new experiences. I love learning new things. More than anything else, I love having a new story to tell. And sure, for me, sometimes that leads to a brawl at a seaside marketplace in India, nearly falling off a mountain in Costa Rica, or getting chased from a riad in Morocco. But, for the ad agencies, brands, and creative partners I work with, it leads to exciting, innovative work that captures consumer attention, earns industry recognition, and drives business outcomes.
And it always leads to a good story.
Brands whose stories I’ve told.
People with good stories about me.
