My first taste of audience engagement arrived in high school, where a satire piece earned laughs and a light foot chase from angry classmates who didn’t quite get the joke.

With those halcyon days of unintentional exercise behind me, I’ve been published in McSweeney's, Cartoon Collections, Gizmodo, GamePro Magazine, PC World, Weekly Humorist and, in ancient times, the Portsmouth Herald.

Today I’m an award-winning associate creative director crafting copy for GEICO, Change the Ref, Suntory/Roku Gin, Navy Federal Credit Union, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Perfect Bar, E*TRADE, and KFC (just to name a few).

Illustration & Cartoons

I’m teaching myself to illustrate with the goal of writing a children’s book some day. Fun, adorable fact: my wife sends me captions and prompts that I use to create original cartoons.

Short Fiction

I’m also an aspiring short story author, specifically speculative fiction. Writing novels isn’t really my thing, but I’d love to publish a short story collection one day.
