But what you probably want to know is the brass tacks stuff, like the fact that I am a strategic and creative director-level communications professional with 19 years of experience. That I have demonstrated expertise in positioning, storytelling, and developing award-winning omnichannel campaigns. That I’ve worked with clients ranging from startups to global, multi-billion-dollar enterprises. That I’m an exceptional communicator with successful record of leading, nay, inspiring teams to secure key clients by over-delivering on market-moving ideas and creative solutions. That I practice mindfulness and compassion. That I was published in the Best American Poetry and that my favorite mantra comes from Frank O’Hara, “Grace to be born and live as variously as possible.” That I believe as Jack London did, that you can’t wait for inspiration, that you have to go after it with a club. That I sing my son to sleep with an original lullaby appropriating the tune of Iggy Pop’s Nightclubbing. That I believe headlines are poetry with a purpose. That being creative takes discipline and drive. That I think Santa Clarita Diet is brilliant. But I digress, I know you have a phone call to make.

I’m looking forward to it.
