"Brad is a true professional. He's mature, responsible and collaborative. He's got a great personality, is good in brainstorms and has a solid sense of humor. He's especially good at writing comedic scripts for TV/Web/radio, but can be counted on to dig in on everything from headlines and subheads to body copy, campaign concepts, CTAs and more. A great guy."

Creative Director, Organic
"Brad was extremely hard working and always came to the table with a plethora of ideas. He truly knows what it means to be a team and he made concepting very easy. Brad's passion to produce great work is addictive. Brad and I worked on projects from Wet Ones and Smucker's to internal introductory videos. And his sense of humor is infectious. Brad is definitely one of those guys you come across and realize he truly can do anything. If ever a project comes up that you're unsure about how to create or produce, Brad never fails. He will get it done. Bottom line. He's an amazing human being and a great friend."

"Brad is an absolute pleasure to work with. Always eager to find the solution to client challenges with a sharp wit and excellent critical thinking, and always driven by a positivity that's infectious with the team. He's an excellent storyteller, with that rare ability to tell simple, concise, and hard hitting stories. His inquisitive nature has led to him being well versed in many aspects of digital and technology during our time working together. Oh yeah, and he's freakin' hilarious too. I look forward to our paths crossing again soon."

What I like about advertising is that you genuinely get to help people. I know this can get lost in corporate culture, but the gratitude I get when I deliver a great piece of work to a large company, a small business, or even a friend is the most rewarding part of my job.
I’ve been working hard at my craft for well over a decade. Copywriting is a skill that I learned by studying at The School of Visual Arts and by simply doing it. Every project challenges me to get a little bit better—no matter how big or small of an assignment it may be. The other influence on my growth has been the people I’ve been fortunate to work with. Being exposed to some of the best creatives in the business inspires me to do better work and be a more outstanding professional.
My creative palette expands beyond just copywriting. I also have experience and training in theater, film, sketch comedy, and improv comedy. As you may have already read in this portfolio, improv has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. Improv has taught me a lot about comedy and has trained my mind to think quickly while being in the moment. These skills help me be a better collaborator and idea generator for projects.
I’m looking to join a team dedicated to creating smart, hilarious, or even heartbreaking ads. I’d love to win some awards, have a good time, and help people in the process. If that sounds good to you, then give me a shout, and let’s get to work.
