I’m a Mexican immigrant, a Texas kid and transplant to Chicago…but I’ve also lived and worked across the country and abroad with some very talented friends.

I enjoy leading work, mentoring others and always look for opportunities beyond the brief in the pursuit of creative excellence and a product that delivers growth for my clients. I LOVE my job, story telling and the process of solving business problems through creativity and innovation.

Beyond advertising I’m a competitive cyclist, play music and paint contemporary abstract works of art. I’m a dog dad and have had the chance to volunteer at several animal rescue centers across three states.

Experiencing other cultures and meeting people from different walks of life is extremely fulfilling to me. I very strongly value diversity, the different view points and experiences people bring to my personal life and the teams I lead, mentor and collaborate with.
