I’m a marketer, graphic designer and business owner based in Syracuse, NY.

I’m a multi-skilled creative professional who lives and breathes marketing and creative design. I live in Syracuse, NY with my beautiful wife Taylor, our son Rowan and our really cool dog Winlee. 

I have over 9 years of experience working in a fast-paced agency-like environment where collaboration has been key. I’m currently the Creative Services Manager for Advance Media New York where I oversee a team of talented designers. I’ve been fortunate enough to work on a wide range of projects throughout the years alongside many talented people.

I’m the Co-Owner/Co-Founder of SYR Clothing Co. – an online streetwear clothing brand representing the city of Syracuse. My wife and I started this company together after realizing there was nothing like it in the area. We wanted people to be able to represent their city through unique clothing designs. Another important piece to our business is giving back. We donate a portion of every sale to a featured CNY nonprofit each month. My wife and I understand how lucky we are and that there is great need in the community so it’s important for us to be focused on making a difference. I personally got involved in the CNY community back when I first joined the United Way’s Young Leaders United group over 5 years ago. Since then, the group has rebranded to Emerging Leaders United and I happily sit on the steering committee. 

My purpose is to create marketing strategies and designs that influence others while also giving back to the community.
