I’m a husband, father, member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and marketing communications professional. These roles of a lifetime have shaped my storytelling craft to create value for brand stakeholders. My skills come from a decade of commercial broadcast journalism experience and two years of brand evangelizing for the third largest not-for-profit health care organization in the U.S.
Born in Payson, Utah more than three decades ago, I was raised by an accountant and an educator. My father crunched numbers for a telecommunications company. My mother taught in public schools. My hobbies include competitive soccer and ping-pong matches.
I like people and their stories. Sharing those stories on a variety of visual mediums is my obsession. See what led to this below.
