Originally from England, I came to America as a wee lad of 9 with terrible teeth and an accent that screamed “I’m different, pick on me”. I’ve since lost the accent. Believe me, at nine years old it was considered neither cool nor sexy. That’s me wearing my standard issue British health system Austin Powers glasses. I cut my own hair into a rainbow when mom left some scissors within reach.

I love animals, dogs in particular and currently have a Boston Terrier. They’re an amazing breed, fun and playful. Everyone knows her, If I were half as popular I’d be skipping through life with my laces untied.

Stand-up comedy is one of my favorite things in the world, the darker the better. The best people I’ve met in life are the ones that can laugh at anything – no matter how horrible.

I play guitar and have some formal music training, much of it involving posing in front of the mirror and wishing I were in Motley Crue. One day I figured I’d play with Ozzy but that’s looking highly unlikely.

I’ve worked in advertising for a longgg time, beginning as a copy intern at Arnold Worldwide. The reason I got into advertising? The dress code. I didn’t know what I wanted to do out of college but I knew that whatever it was, I didn’t want it to involve wearing a suit and/or tie.

After beginning my career spending years as an agency copywriter I wanted to know more about the big picture and how exactly my script became a radio or TV spot, website or print ad. So I jumped into production. I learned a lot during my time as an agency producer. Including the most important lesson of all – producing stinks, I prefer to write.

So I returned to copywriting in 2009 and haven’t looked back. Although I do enjoy being able to bring my production knowledge and relationships to realize the creative vision.

Now you’re all caught up on my big important career.
