I am a creative strategist, writer, and manager with a 20+ year history of freelance and corporate engagement who still gets a rush every time he out-thinks a challenge or architects a unique solution to a difficult problem.
Over the span of my career I have succeeded in a broad range of roles as consultant, entrepreneur, team leader and innovator. As the owner of my own development company for nine years and an additional four years as the Chief Innovation Officer for an IT solutions company, I managed projects and teams, both locally and internationally. As an independent consultant I helped clients discover, define, and overcome challenges in their products and processes and as a partner of a strategy and design agency, I worked with a designer to guide clients to better branding, messaging, and marketing. My specialties include planning, strategy, and communications.
In my personal time, I welcome every opportunity to explore creative projects such as children's writing and illustration.
