About Me

During the day, I’m the franchise player for the New York Knicks, averaging a modest 30 points and 10 assists a game. At night, I swing through the streets of Manhattan fighting crime and webbing up bad guys, cracking jokes all the while.

In my free time outside of these important duties, I pursue a career in advertising at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. There, I’m an Art Director with a passion for graphic design and visual storytelling, among other things. Nobody at Syracuse knows about my double life so if you’re reading this, let’s keep it that way - they probably won’t believe you anyways.

Ok, no I don’t play for the Knicks…but I do bring the same drive and dedication that NBA players do on the court to every aspect of my life. Whether it’s leading a team of creatives as the Creative Director of the largest student-run ad agency, helping other students bring their campaigns to life with Adobe Photoshop and InDesign as the Graphics Assistant for the Creative Advertising program, or concepting for my own campaigns, I approach each and every task the way the pros at the highest level do - obsessive, passionate, and meticulous in pursuit of success.

As for my night time job, that’s true (see the proof on the right), and the hero complex doesn’t stop at fighting crime - it extends to my aspirations of reaching people on a deeper emotional level through advertising. I want to inspire others and create campaigns that have a positive cultural impact, like the very best advertising does.
