Biography
Contact: [email protected]
I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I bring five years of digital advertising and sales experience to Brand Fuel. I’ve worked with businesses and professionals to better understand their goals and help find the right solutions for them. I enjoy getting to know my clients, learning about their businesses, and building genuine relationships along the way.
Outside of work, I’m a proud husband to my wife, Arielle, and a father to my two boys, Leo and Thomas. I’m an avid music fan and record collector with a collection of more than 500 records, a horror movie enthusiast, and I enjoy staying active through running, walking, and strength training.
Causes: Feeding America, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the American Cancer Society.
Favorite Bands: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Superchunk, Radiohead, The National, Beach House, Fleet Foxes, Pixies, The War on Drugs, The Afghan Whigs, Talking Heads…and thousands of others. Ask me on a different day and you’ll probably get a different answer.
Favorite Movie Directors: David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter, Mike Flanagan, and Ti West.
Favorite Author: Bret Easton Ellis.
Dinner Guest (Dead or Alive): Jimi Hendrix. I’d love to hear his stories, talk music, and find out where he thought music was headed.
My Superpower: Remembering when movies and albums were released, along with a completely unnecessary amount of random music and movie trivia.
Favorite Foods: Steak tacos, California rolls, and crab legs are a few of my favorites.
Favorite Beverage: Coffee (a daily essential).
Favorite Places to Travel: My family loves the mountains, especially Asheville. Thailand and Paris are high on our bucket list, and traveling together is something we want to prioritize as our boys get older.
When I’m Not Working, You’ll Find Me: At a concert with my family, at the gym, or on the beach—depending on the time of year.
Favorite Season: Fall. I love everything about it, but especially the nostalgia and childhood memories that come with it.
Pet Peeves: Loud chewing/smacking, unnecessary messiness, and bad manners are three of my biggest pet peeves.
