As OAD's CD, I’m responsible for the thinking and creativity of all work produced for our clients. I wear many hats, but creativity is first and foremost. Away from the office, I'm an artist who spends leisure time on my passions; bicycle riding & racing or playing/coaching/officiating hockey. This philosophy has always worked for me--by pursuing personal passions, inspiration follows, which in turn results in outstanding creative.
A little about how I got here (okay, I promise to keep it short).
For the first 7 years of my career, I was a part of creative teams in metro NY ad agencies, working my way up to directing and managing multiple accounts for Lavey/Wolff/Swift (Omnicom) at Madison Avenue & 51st Street in NYC.
Before venturing out on my own, I worked at Franklin Advertising in Newton, MA, handling a variety of accounts including Wang, JetForm, Packard Bell and Concentric Data Systems. I’ve won a few awards over the years, including 2 from the New England Direct Marketing Association (NEDMA) and an Rx Award in New York City.
I put myself through Rhode Island School of Design, achieving a BFA in Photography and Design. I teach photography and digital classes at the Worcester Art Museum and have 2 wonderful sons who are the absolute joy and loves of my life.
