Writer at Wieden + Kennedy
Portland, Oregon Area
I come from a sports background. Both as an athlete and a fan.
I played varsity basketball in high school and played baseball through college and eventually had a major league tryout. I grew up obsessed with every storyline of the NBA during the 1990's. I followed every chapter of the Chicago Bulls' dynasty from the early defeats by the Pistons to Jordan's final shove-off of Byron Russell.
I also come from a creative background. My short film 'Fallen Hoods' won a judges' award at the 2004 48-Hour Film Challenge. I continue to experiment with filmmaking and also record all kinds of music.
I am a graduate of Wieden+Kennedy's 12 program and am currently working as a copywriter on Nike for Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo.
