About
Most recently, I worked as a Creative Director at Periscope along side a creative team of very talented people. In addition to agency work, I have volunteered as the Co-Chair for MIMA's Higher Education Committee, mentored students for the University of Minnesota College of Design, The BrandLab and BoundaryLessMN, taught as adjunct faculty for Brainco The School of Advertising and the U of MN College of Design. Mostly, I try to spend time with my family and play as much music as I can.
