About Me

I draw cartoons and work in marketing. A few years ago, I started drawing a strip called Brand Camp about life on the M&M bowl side of the focus group glass.

In early 2007, I moved to London from San Francisco. I thought it would be fun to capture what I find on this side of the pond in a blog. Kind of my own marketing cartoon travelogue.

I learned to draw cartoons while doodling in the margins of business cases as a business school student. I started Brand Camp a few years later by tacking the cartoons to the side of my cubicle at General Mills and emailing them to my class of fellow marketers. My email list has grown a bit the last few years, and my cartoons are now published regularly in Brandweek, Market Leader and a few other pubs. I also do some speaking at campuses, conferences, and businesses with my cartoons.

In my day job, I'm helping bring the method brand to Europe, a dream job I actually discovered through my cartoons (tell that to my high school guidance counselor). I previously worked on Häagen-Dazs, Green Giant, Yoplait, and Cheerios.

Before my brand life, I built web sites for an interactive agency called iXL, was a wine steward on a Wyoming dude ranch, and sold advertising for the first English language magazine in Prague.
