About Me
I am a brand builder and strategic marketer with 20 years experience leading strategy and integrated marketing for Fortune 500 brands and up-and-coming challengers at world class agencies, media companies, and brands.

A consultancy that serves as a fractional strategy and marketing department, plugging into brands and agencies, to provide objective strategic leadership and creative marketing services in one.

My career has straddled the entire marketing industry, taking on leadership roles at brand-side companies, global media companies, entertainment studios, and agencies of every discipline.
I live in Summit, New Jersey with my wife and two young kids, but can be foundwandering around hiking trails and obsessing over craft breweries.
