Set outrageous goals
Be unconditionally awesome

Career highlight: being physically escorted out of R.J. Reynolds, mid-pitch, after presenting a smoking cessation product campaign deemed “offensive to their heritage.” I find myself drawn to pursuits with the potential for instant death. I laugh out loud every time I recall teeth are exposed bone. I listen more than I speak, but talk constantly in my head. I have a love/hate relationship with intractable problems. I’m an art director who picked up a pen instead of Photoshop. I have a pit bull’s sense of loyalty. I don’t half-ass a damn thing.
