»What I did.

Experienced generalist.

I started in the business 20+ years ago writing TV and radio commercials about combines, cars, and bull testing facilities. I then honed my writing skills at a couple of integrated ad agencies in Winnipeg and Regina, before being lured by the bright lights of Toronto. There I worked as a Senior Writer at Wunderman and then at Rapp/DDB Canada – where I also took the helm as Creative Director. In early 2010, I decided to go out on my own.
