For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped organizations elevate their strategic marketing and communication efforts by building brands, shaping narratives, and leading cultures that drive results.
My success is rooted in an approach that combines bold vision-setting with disciplined development and execution. I pride myself on cultivating cultures where even the most transformational ideas can be pursued with confidence and where strategy and accountability are our constant foundation. This has always been the key to building teams and environments that consistently deliver innovative and measurable results aligned with organizational goals.
I currently serve as Creative Director at Kansas State University, where I lead brand strategy and creative development across all major institutional initiatives. During my time at K-State, I’ve spearheaded a complete refresh of the university brand, rebuilt central creative operations, and led the redesign of recruitment marketing, contributing to three consecutive years of enrollment growth.
Prior to K-State, I worked at Ripon College, where I oversaw institutional video marketing and served as chief creative officer for athletics. My time at Ripon included a full rebuild of the college’s video marketing arm, the development of its first long term video strategy, and a creative overhaul of athletics that helped my programs meet or exceed recruitment goals for three straight years.
