I broke into advertising the way anyone does.

By getting a job in the accounting department and pitching headlines to creative directors between processing invoices and expense reports.

That’s the traditional path, right?

I quickly earned the opportunity to trade the spreadsheets for storyboards and never looked back.

15+ years in, I’ve collaborated with some incredibly talented people, worked on every type of project, and—oh right—met my wonderful wife Molly.

Together we live on Boston’s North Shore, raising our sweet baby girl Hazy and wild Samoyed Ruby in Molly’s hundred-year-old childhood home—which was somehow my idea to buy?

And even with the seemingly never-ending renovations and chaos of being a dad, life’s pretty great.

I’m just dreading that inevitable, awkward father-daughter conversation—when I have to explain that we still haven’t solved global warming.

But I’ll think of something. It’s what I do.
