Additional writing samples may be available upon request.

In my role as the leader of a creative teams, I’ve had the privilege of guiding projects from conception to completion, ensuring that every detail aligns with the highest standards. 

While not a full creative by trade, my expertise in copywriting, scriptwriting, campaign management, and quality control has been instrumental in shaping successful campaigns.

My leadership has contributed to winning 70 American Advertising Awards, including three Best of Show awards, two Reed Awards, and two Pollie Awards, reflecting a commitment to excellence and innovation in every project.

Like many midsize cities across the nation, Huntsville had struggled to redevelop and reposition its downtown. That changed in 2013 when the City co-funded a public-private-partnership to create the non-profit Downtown Huntsville, Inc. (DHI). DHI asked Red Brick to create a compelling film that would inspire civic pride and create positive momentum for the new organization.
