Thanks for asking.

I was born and raised in St. Louis (a South County kid who attended Lindbergh High School). College took me down I-44 to Missouri State (Southwest Missouri State at the time), and I've essentially called Springfield home ever since.

I got my big break as a copywriter with Bradshaw Advertising in Springfield, where I wrote everything from jingles to dog food packaging. I then moved on to Noble & Associates, working in sales promotion for brands such as Borden, Wyler's, and ReaLemon.

After a brief stop at the GodwinGroup in Jackson, Mississippi, I returned to Springfield and Noble—this time working in the home & building products division for TAMKO, USG, VT Industries and other B2B clients.

For the past 9 years, I've been in foodservice marketing at Marlin. During this time, I've concepted everything from table tents to brand anthems for Tyson Foodservice, The French's Food Company, PepsiCo Foodservice, and others.
