Well, well, well Brian Donovan. How the tables have turned. Now I finally get to be the one to review your work. Brian oversaw some of my Dunkin' Donuts work at Hill Holliday. Working with him was always a good experience. He gave great direction and helped me learn the brand voice relatively quickly. He would always set the standard of how good the work could be. His work on Dunkin' was always funny and heartfelt, which isn't surprising since he is that kind go a guy. He is a strong presenter and has made me laugh many many times both in and outside of client presentations. Any agency would be lucky to have him and I hope I get a chance to work with him again one day.

      I keep every home secure. I mean, not me personally. That's what SimpliSafe does. I tend to hide under the bed more than confront. But whatever. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "The pencil is mightier than the dagger." I keep every home secure. I mean, not me personally. That's what SimpliSafe does.

      Freelanced at various places in the Boston area, including Sapient/Nitro, Arnold and my porch. Which I call "The Catio" because my cats like hanging out on it. If you'd like to learn more about my cats, DM me. But in the meantime, let's carry on with the serious business of you perusing my experience. Worked on accounts including the Boston Red Sox, Progressive Insurance, Dunkin' Donuts, Wellington Management, CVS and John Hancock.

      Worked with Dunkin’ Donuts to help keep America running. Or at the very least, walking at a brisk pace. Developed TV, radio, print, OOH, POP and digital executions for the brand while overseeing a team of writers. Other clients I worked with: MLB, Chili’s, Merrill Lynch, Smuckers and Bank of America. Oh, and I also lost a pen there. So if anybody happens to find it, hit me up on Twitter. Worked with Dunkin’ Donuts to help keep America running. Or at the very least, walking at a brisk pace.

      Started as a Senior Copywriter and climbed like a spider monkey up to the position of Creative Director in 2004, Also, got yelled at by Michael Bay and Julia Roberts. But not in that order. Worked with many different clients through the years. Some of my favorites were: Mountain Dew, Pepsi, GE, Motorola, Aquafina, and Gillette Drank what many called “an alarming number" of Mountain Dews on a daily basis Started as a Senior Copywriter and climbed like a spider monkey up to the position of Creative Director in 2004, Also, got yelled at by Michael Bay and Julia Roberts.

      Got started in the business by working with clients like Bailey’s Irish Cream, Listerine and Lipton Iced Tea. Was told by my art director that I needed to get rid of my collection of Levi’s Dockers and start dressing cooler.
