Firstbase

I am a one-man creative ad agency and conceptual marketing resource for a variety of national, regional and local companies. Besides owning my own up-to-date hardware and software, I regularly use the following partial list of tools to perform my creative work: The Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, GoLive), QuarkXpress, Strata 3D CX, Lightwave 3D, Final Cut HD Studio, and a variety of Macromedia products (Director, Flash, and Dreamweaver). Regarding digital video, I own and operate a high-end Canon digital video camera and use my Nikon digital equipment for photo shoots. My client list has included companies such as Fujifilm USA, Eckerd, Zondervan, Baker Book House, Wolverine World Wide, and Siemens (Dematic Division) as well as a plethora of local and regional companies. I've performed projects ranging from local broadcast spots for small retailers up to large budget, extensive multimedia projects for world-renowned B2B companies. If you've ever set foot in a Hush Puppies store or have visited an Eckerd Drug store, the chances are excellent that you've seen some of my work. I have a broad range of skills and interests that stem from a naturally artistic nature along with an analytical side – exemplified by my M.B.A in finance and marketing. In other words, I multitask well, and even thrive on it. I also have tried to view myself as a simple storyteller who communicates the virtues of products and services in clear and compelling ways. This clarity of purpose has served me well over the years, particularly in an industry in which deadlines rule. I also have found that a healthy dose of humor helps with client relations.
