hi there,

Thanks for stopping by. I'm Chris, a creative with 12+ years experience in brand marketing, video production, and content generation. My career has taken me to 6 different countries and 28 states throughout the U.S. I feel at my best when surrounded by like-minded creatives who are inspired to make an impact with their work.

I grew up in Vermont but have called Minnesota home for the last 10 years. I don't have many ultimatums but I will never settle for anything less than real cream butter, and pure, grade-A, dark amber maple syrup.

Let's connect over a beer, coffee, or stack of pancakes with the appropriate toppings!

THINGS I AM
GOOD AT

leadership

I manage 15 full-time staff (a 67% growth in headcount over 5 years), a creative agency retainer and numerous freelance producers/photographers/editors. I believe in fostering a robust work culture and mentoring teams to maximize creativity and productivity.

CREATIVITY

I'm not afraid to think differently and challenge the status quo. I believe in taking risks, breaking rules and making mistakes in order to earn the reputation as a trend setter, not a trend follower.

STORYTELLING

Strong storytelling is the key to successful brand equity. My experience in crafting stories from video, photo, and copy have taught me that selling a feeling is much more productive than selling a product.

adaptability

Like putty, I can mold to - and thrive in - many work environments. While currently overseeing the brand, graphic design, and video production teams at the Wild, I find myself wearing many different hats for many different situations. I believe adaptabilty is essential to longevity.

COLLABORATION

I thrive in an environment surrounded by like-minded creatives who aren't afraid to fail. In order to venture a brand or project into unchartered territories, you must have a team willing to blaze a new path. While often leading out front, I never go it alone.
