Mile High City lifer. Ad Club Denver’s past creative chair and 2021 Ace Mentor. Currently knocking around as a freelance CD/CW.

Through no particular plan, I've spent most of my career in the Restaurant, Hospitality and Travel categories, with forays into Fashion and Healthcare. Along the way, my teams have won more than 150 awards for creative excellence. You hang around long enough, you get to do a bit of everything, I guess.

I do a lot of public speaking on modern life, creativity, and how to make them work together. Check out my Talks page to see some of the big themes I cover.

I've published 12 (count ‘em) books, including Shelf Unbound's Best Indie Novel of 2015. And I record, perform and publish my own audiobooks, podcasts and music under the name Optimism Delivers.

My favorite thing in the world is a blank page. My second favorite is a full one.
