I started my advertising career in 1995 with an entry level design and production position at a small sign company. This early hands-on experience started me on a path through the winding road of the creative industries, which has given me an in-the-trenches perspective on advertising in general. I've been on all sides of the profession, from owner/operator to behind-the-scenes production, sales, planning, design and implementation. With each step I've earned the practical, working-experience I put to use for my clients today. I believe that momentum only builds once you get things moving, and a lack of a decisive, focused action-plan is the best way to send a project in the wrong direction from it's onset. I always think through a project's pros and cons from the very beginning, and utilize group-brainstorming, mind-mapping, and sketching out ideas as a part of this process. For this method of working to be effective, I take extra care to include my clients in the creative process. Creating useful advertising means stepping into the mind of the audience, putting their shoes on, eating what they eat, standing in the same lines they stand in, watching the shows they watch... you've gotta catch their cold. You really have to try your very best to get outside of yourself and become an objective observer—all while participating—seeing the world from a consumer point-of-view, getting right inside their likes and dislikes, their needs and desires. From a personal point of view, being an effective communicator means being part artist, carpenter, writer, fool, sage, psychologist, observer, servant, listener and almost 100% creative problem solver. My personal motto? When you don't know what to do to get started, take a deep breath, put one foot in front of the other, and just do something. The right action will arise from there.
