HOWDY,
I’m a Detroit native shaped by grit, loyalty, and a deep love of sports. I grew up measuring seasons by wins and losses, learning early that culture is built through resilience as much as celebration. That competitive edge still drives how I think, create, and lead.
After living in Texas and Montana, I found a second home in western culture, in the craftsmanship, the quiet confidence, the pride in tradition, and the reverence for wide open space. It’s a world where heritage matters, details are not rushed, and style is earned. That influence shows up everywhere in my work through a respect for legacy brands, an obsession with materials and silhouette, and a belief that the best storytelling feels lived in rather than manufactured.
Sport remains a constant thread in my life, whether on the tennis court, the golf course, or chasing powder in the mountains. I’m most at home outside, where competition, camaraderie, and landscape intersect.
Creatively I’m drawn to brands that are deeply rooted in their own history and point of view, brands that understand who they are, where they came from, and what they stand for. The ones that carry tradition with confidence while continuing to evolve. As a creative leader, I build brands the same way, with backbone, cultural fluency, and a perspective that feels timeless, confident, and intentional.
