Hi,
I'm John.

Hi,
I'm
John.

A strategist in human form. I’m a bold thinker who lives for a big swing.

By day you’ll find me talking to strangers and immersing myself in the worlds I work in. By night I’m confusing my content algorithms about who I am and catching up on whatever I missed in the last news cycle.

I’m originally from Vermont and grew up in upstate New York — the almost-Canada part.

I studied sociology at Ithaca College, lived in South Africa, started a carbon-tracking platform, and broke into the agency world by literally walking into an office and asking for a job.

I wrote my Brandcenter application essay about One Piece (yes, the anime), and pitched a dog food delivery service that also brings breakfast for the owner — because people never have time for themselves in the morning, but always have time for their furry pals. 

You’ll usually find me searching for the best pizza and donuts in whatever city I’m in, and knowing way too much about sports.

If you’re also human and want a human conversation about strategy, media, or the future of everything, drop me a line.
