My Entire Life Story
I was raised in the Midwest and was educated at the finest public university in Kansas. I'm currently a Creative Lead at Waze, working primarily on our Customize Your Drive program. In the past I've worked on brands like Snickers, AT&T, MasterCard, Chobani, Samsung, Lowe's, and Bacardi.
I love dogs, bicycles, and wilderness survival shows - specifically Alone, Survivorman, and the first 2 seasons of Dual Survival.
