Hey, stranger! Thanks for stopping in. I assume you came for the pretty pictures. But since you made it this far, I may as well tell you a little about myself.
I'm from a sleepy little city called Decatur, IL. Doesn't ring a bell? I'll paint a picture. Hop on Spotify or the music streaming app of your choosing. Type in JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP. Play any song you wish from his impressive list of greatest hits. Listen to those sweet soulful hymns of the heartland and let them wash over you. That's it! You just relived the first 18 years of my life.
Since then I’ve abandoned my bucolic upbringing to travel the country collaborating with people far more talented than myself. I’ve lived in five different cities and 14 addresses accompanied by my wife, Katie, a fellow veteran of the ad game. Most recently our travels have landed us in Cincinnati, OH where we’ve grown our tribe to four with the addition of our rambunctious son, Porter and a somewhat skittish pandemic dog, by the name of Pico.
In my free time you can find me traveling with the fam, perfecting the art of low country cooking, doodling, golfing poorly, watching my beloved St. Louis Cardinals or Cincinnati Bengals and occasionally authoring a few amusing observations of the human condition.
Let’s be honest, by now you’re probably two albums deep into the Mellencamp collection and by God, who could blame you? But if not, and you’d like to collab or just chew the fat, then let’s chat.
