A marketer for the history books.
I'm a marketer at Google, where I spend my days working on marketing's future. Outside of work, I host a podcast where I study marketing's past.
In a field obsessed with the latest trend, it's useful to know how we got here, how we've navigated past transformations, and which principles are timeless.
Before Google, I founded an agency (sold), led marketing for startups, got into Sundance, and produced ads for Microsoft and ESPN. In college, I made a TV series for the University of Washington. In high school, I made an underground newspaper.
I live in Seattle with my wife and our three daughters.
