I hail from an upbringing where men like my father had rough hands from building bridges. And schools. So the least I can do is try to make something half as decent. My craft is writing. I use headlines as my bricks and get callouses from a keyboard.

Believe it or not, my old man thinks it's pretty awesome.

Once in a while, some people in the advertising industry and the press agree. My work has been featured by the following and others:

AdAge • Adweek • Agency Spy • The Atlantic • Buzzfeed • Communication Arts • The Dieline • The Drum • Fast Company • Golf Channel • PRINT Magazine

You exude so much energy, you might actually be caffeine.

Great fucking line, bro. It’s definitely making me hungry. Let’s grab lunch.

Keep writing. You’re getting better, just not as good as me yet.
