ABOUT
There is no me without the we. I owe my success and career to the people pictured below. My teams. The Creatives, the brave clients, the brilliant strategic thinkers, the hard workers, the instigators and the passionate souls who give a shit. Together, we are a force of nature. For our clients and the causes we believe in, we turn the what if into the what is. There is no challenge we’ll back down from, no problem we can’t solve.
Originally from Madison, I’ve run a DIY gallery, exhibited photography in San Francisco, New York and Denver, toured with bands and self-published a book. I’ve weathered the storms of agency-life for over 27 years, and I’m the wiser for them. Sometimes the driving force, sometimes the guiding hand, you can find me at Cactus, working with my teams, learning from my clients, and always trying to find meaningful, beautiful, creative solutions to big problems.
