Who Is This Guy?

WHO IS THIS GUY?

I love to break the rules.

Not because I want to (sometimes I do), but because I have to. It’s how I learn. I have to know what I can stretch, bend and twist. What can I mold just enough so that it doesn’t break, and how my team and I can use that mold to our advantage.

I am skilled in translating information into insights, making campaigns relevant and resonant. I ground my approach by combining creative intuition and research-backed data, carving out plans that connect the dots between business objectives and customer needs.

That said, I check my ego at the door. No matter how much I think I know, I realize there's always more to gain. I'm also actively trying to punch imposter syndrome in the nose.

LOVED WORKING WITH

My pops immigrated from Osijek, Croatia and my mom from Southwest Missouri, or as she would say, Missoura. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I know I'm a dual citizen with a tight-knit, culture-infused family.

I was born and raised in Kansas City, naturally making me a die-hard

Chiefs fan. That said, I can't watch a game anymore without analyzing the commercials like they're up for Cannes Lions.

I'm a fitness nerd, hip-hop ad-lib enthusiast and Oxford comma despiser. I love listening to music and watching anything in the horror section of Netflix. Sometimes I feel like I'm in Black Mirror.
