Hi, I’m Michael.
I live in Chicago, work in NY, but I’ll always call Detroit home.
I’ve worked at Leo Burnett and Ogilvy, but found a passion in earned-first creative that led me to Golin where I’m the lead creative for our PepsiCo and Boston Beer accounts.
When I'm not coming up with ideas I can usually be found doing one of these things:
-Playing hockey. I won a national championship and then immediatly had an anuerysm and had to quit.
-Cooking. But don’t ask me to bake. I am terrible at it.
-Reading about history. Especially ancient history.
-Looking for odd treasures in antique stores.
-Destroying my bank account with my ever-growing comic book collection
I've been fortunate enough to have my work recognized at Cannes Lions, D&AD, The Effies, The One Show, LIA, Clios, Comm Arts and more.
Take a look around and feel free to reach out.
