I earned my B.S. and M.S. from James Madison University and have spent nearly a decade building brands, leading creative teams, and growing my own agency from a side studio into a full-time business.

When I'm not building brands, you'll find me with my partner, Natalie, and our dog, Marley, tinkering on cars and cameras, or taking on a DIY project around the house. I'm also a lifelong fitness enthusiast and recently finished my first half-marathon at the DC Half.
