Since joining BBDO he’s produced campaigns for Jack Daniels, Alka Seltzer, HP, Lenscrafters, Ziploc and Dr Scholl’s. As a lifelong lover of fantastical cinema, he’s been producing his own shorts ever since his parents brought home a VHS camcorder and he could film his action figures in battles on Lego sets.
