Nice to meet you.

I'm Mike, and I am a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction. 

I've been in the industry for 22 years. For a decade, I bounced back and forth between CPB and Chiat, where I learned the virtues of working hard and fast, wearing multiple hats, and that ultimately the best idea is king. Along the way, I've been fortunate to pick up awards from every major award show, and coverage from all the major media outlets. 

Also, I've been told I'm not an asshole. So let's brew up a pot of coffee and get to work.
