Activator. Strategic thinker.
Passionate Communicator. Helper of others.
Growing up in a family printing company, I was exposed to creativity and business at a young age. This is where my heart for business and a passion to help began.
In 1996 I started CrossGrain, a branding agency known for delivering creative work with a business purpose. After 18 years in business, I stepped away in 2014 to chase a dream with my family. Having lost over 100lbs as a cyclist, I combined my passion for riding bikes with a desire to help malnourished kids in South Sudan. Branded as CycleCause, I rode 4,700 miles solo across America with my wife and two boys traveling along for support.
The story of getting active and helping malnourished kids continued with my involvement at Active For Good where we successfully donated over 3.5 million life-saving meal packets.
I’m currently serving as CMO at Westamerica Communications, one of Orange County’s favorite commercial printers.
I've been a frequent speaker, including multiple keynotes in the areas of branding, creativity, finding purpose, and what it means to live a brand.
