With over 20 years’ marketing and advertising experience, I’ve been a key player in my client’s success. I started my career as an advertising art director at a local surf, skate and snowboard magazine. It was there I developed working relationships with retailers, business owners and athletes.

From there, I went on to a small advertising agency specializing in youth marketing in Newport Beach, where my talents helped major brands such as Vans Shoes, Activision & Microsoft.

I then moved on to Boost Mobile, a lifestyle telecommunications company gearing up for a launch in the USA mid 2002. As a start up company with only seven employees or so, Boost looked to me to develop the early marketing that would eventually help the company reach a billion dollars in revenue and over 300 employees.

After Boost, I made a life changing career move and decided to go out on my own in 2008 and I started Concept 73. From my garage office (aka “The Garoffice”), I worked as a creative resource for Gunnar Optiks, Skullcandy and SIMple Mobile. The agency grew quickly and I began adding the finest talent in Southern California to help with larger national brands like CES, Asics, Tracfone & Ole Smoky Moonshine. C73 would then go on to support multiple accounts for the next 10 years.

In 2015 my wife and I made a bold career move and decided to start a craft distillery in Orange County, California. Drift Distillery is still in operation today and we just opened a new location in the heart of downtown San Clemente. I’ve enjoyed creating the brand and marketing materials over the years and hopefully it will continue to grow. We have a great crew in place now and I’m looking forward to getting back to my creative roots.
