About me
Welcome to the Stool Softener, a self-initiated idea for a Senekot trade show—balancing humor with real-world constraints. It complements the high-profile work I create for brands like Nike, Amazon, Google, Belkin, and the NFL. I thrive on connecting with teams, sharing ideas, and bringing creativity to life. For 20 years, I’ve worked across packaging, web, social, print, and branding, focusing on work that connects with the audience it’s made for. Outside of work, I stay disciplined in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and Judo, and lean fully into fatherhood. I can proudly say I paddle across Lake Ontario — not something many people get to experience.
(2022 - Present)
Currently at Monks, I work across international teams—front-facing with clients, building relationships, shaping ideas, and producing work. I help boutique brands grow from the ground up, lead mass-market initiatives, and integrate AI into the creative workflow. Outside of client work, I contribute as an artist to Deep Thoughts, a monthly motion-graphic speakeasy showcasing experimental micro-films.
