Approach

An advertiser's advertiser. Every spot starts with its objective, whether that's building brand recall or driving conversion and lifetime value, and every creative choice answers to it.

Creative and performance

My career has grown on two parallel tracks. I've made the work, and I've owned the numbers it was supposed to move.

Agency side and in-house

That overlap has paid off on both sides of the table: in-house at RVshare, Grypmat, and Aircraft for Sale, and now running Wilbur.

With the Wilbur team

I do my best work alongside my team at Wilbur. Together we take on productions at any scale.

About

Technical and creative at the same time.

I own Wilbur, a video-first ad agency in Cincinnati, where I lead creative. Before Wilbur I worked in-house in growth and marketing. I'm also a pilot, and I founded Windsock, an AI aircraft valuation platform.
