I tell stories through films & videos, and I make commercials.
I’m currently Creative Director for the Mnemonic Agency in Oregon, where he helps tell brand stories through television commercials, videos, and full campaigns. I used to be a copywriter at CB&S/Kroger Advertising. Beyond that I’ve written a variety of feature films, fiction, non-fiction, cartoons, educational materials, and more for a variety of outlets and purposes.

Here’s a variety of campaigns from the past few years:

2022 PSA campaign. Animated spots directed by Matt Taylor.
2023 CLIO Shortlist
2023 Silver Telly

Roby’s.
The best furniture, appliance, & mattress store in Oregon. Happens to be on the coast (& McMinnville). Everyone there is amazing, hence this creative approach of letting the employees tell their stories. We’ve made ~50 videos & commercials and keep making them.

CLAW CITY.
”Join the Claw Revolution!”
Worked with Ryan Barajas and Justin Apmadoc to come up with a concept that tied together Claw City’s commitment to a Maximalist aesthetic and an irreverent push for FUN.

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo.
A great client who can do magic with tattoo artistry. They’re able to conjure eyebrows where none existed before.
We wanted to celebrate all of Daela‘s clients in their best light so we partnered with the best photographer - Todd Eckelman. We turned a photo shoot into an event and made commercials from it all.

Diamond K Sales.

They sell Trailers in Halsey, OR. Rather than just show a lot of trailers, we decided to show trailers at work. And show off the surrounding area in a way that captured it magic. So we partnered with Todd Eckelman to take still photos of Diamond K’s trailers out & about in the area to showcase how embedded they are… and how crucial they are to the life of the community.

Ron Tonkin Toyota.

Where is Ron Tonkin Toyota? On the East Side of Portland. Working with the Account Executive Brittany Dunn, we crafted a campaign that highlights just the neighborhoods and specific best parts of East Portland as told through the employees of Tonkin. The continuing campaign feels like a hyper-local Michelin Guide of the best part of Portland… “on the East Side.”
