About
I was born in a Vegas casino. Just kidding. Obviously, all Las Vegans are born in strip clubs.
My high school claim to fame was winning “Best Smile,” and all that got me was a futon in a haunted West Harlem studio in 2014. I didn’t enjoy the invisible roommate, but I did enjoy the street cred.
Still, it was a step up from when I was working as an account guy in Seattle. I’ve come a long way. Now, it sounds way sexier telling people I’m a New York City creative director.
