I’m a seasoned advertising veteran with the emotional scars to prove it. I’m a visual thinker, a strategic writer. I believe in investing in every client’s success. But, above all, I believe that the better the work, the better the results.
Work Experience
Get Garcia
ACD/Copywriter
After years in the advertising business, in 2005 I started working for someone who understood my creative vision perfectly.
Myself.
Since then, I've been providing the following creative services to regional, national clients, and international clients: Print and broadcast copywriting; SEO website content; graphic design; and general marketing consulting.
On rare occasions, a client will also receive my mother’s recipe for Cuban Black Beans. I repeat: on very rare occasions.

Hanon McKendry
Copy Supervisor/Senior Writer
For a relatively small Grand Rapids-based shop, I ended up building what I, and thankfully others, consider to be a pretty darn good broadcast reel. It also gave me the opportunity to help build some challenging brands, like Knights of Columbus and Furniture Row. Good times. Good times.

TraverRohrback
Senior Writer
After a couple of years at BBDO, I headed over to, naturally, Kalamazoo, MI where I worked at a tiny little boutique shop with big aspirations and astoundingly good creative. While there, helped craft the brand voice for several leading hospitals, including Borgess Health Alliance, as well as AAA Michigan. Additional clients included Bell's Brewery, Plaza Towers, and Bridgestone, among others.

Where it all began. As a Junior Writer fresh out of The Portfolio Center, my partner and I received our "big break" when we landed part of the Campbell's account. Other accounts that kept us busy/insane included Visa, US Navy, FedEx, Russell Athletic and M&Ms.
