About me
For this installment of "what should I put for my bio" here's a little magazine profile-style Q&A.
Q: How’d you get into this line of work?
A: It started with years of homemade birthday cards, and eye-guzzling hours of commercials during football. Then in a stroke of dumb luck, I got introduced to the BrandLab through my senior-year marketing class. Now, I volunteer with them as a summer coach!
Q: What famous copywriters do you admire?
A: Terrence LeVarr Thornton, more famously known as Pusha T, allegedly first wrote “I’m lovin it” for McDonalds in 2002, and never got much credit for it.
​
Q: Care to list some of those hobbies?
A: I’m a big sports guy. I play fantasy football, co-ed soccer, and make TikToks about sports too. Besides that I have a vegetable garden, a nearly-full Pokedex, and if you give me a job, I’ll have no choice but to add to my trading card collection.
Q: What’s your professional mantra?
A: The average American spends roughly one third of their life at work, so I believe in spending those 90,000 hours doing something fun.
Q: Name an item on your writing bucket list.
A: Someday I hope to do the back of a cereal box.
