About.

I’ve been a marketing leader for 15 years for ad agencies, in-house marketing teams, and as a consultant. Outfit was created to leverage this experience to work with good people, who care to do good work, in order to generate goodness for society.

That work has included enterprise, product, brand, compliance, and content marketing across B2B and B2C sectors. My experience spans Fortune 500 clients, startups, and mission-driven organizations in industries ranging from renewable energy and economic development to sports, architecture, and public services. I’ve also led strategy for companies in tech, indoor agriculture, industrial manufacturing, and alternative medicine; always focused on defining purpose and building the plans to deliver on it.

I live in Tempe, Arizona, with my wife, our two kids, and the world’s best bulldog. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me writing, reading, traveling, golfing, or protecting slow moments with the people I love most.

It could be as simple as that. A quick call, a coffee, a beer. I’d be happy to make the time for you, if any of this copy about who I am and what Outfit does relates to your business or marketing needs. Fill out the form and let’s talk.
