I became interested in advertising in high school. As part of an art class, the students all submitted advertising ideas for a tanning bed company for a contest being held by a local newspaper. I wrote and designed an ad that ended up winning the contest… and $100! I was hooked, going on to get my advertising degree working in the business ever since.
I love the process of defining a challenge, brainstorming and presenting ideas, and then bringing the winning concept to life through words and images. The only status quo is that every day is a new challenge. I also like being part of a team dynamic and the creative camaraderie of accomplishing marketing goals together.
Outside of work, I’m a movie nut, attending a couple of films a week, and watching them on TV. I like to keep track of what’s current in both entertainment and technology. And I enjoy meeting and talking with new people, because it’s how I learn and make friends.
