I made a name and reputation from a Midwest Ohio boy to a top ad business creative in Chicagoland and beyond. I built the Midwest’s fifth or eighth depending on who you talk to, largest ad agency with three-hundred clients and over 150 employees, lost it all, built another and another. I travel from early schooling to building breakthrough creative marketing campaigns based on what I call “wow” moments. Included is a life threating run in with the Chinese government, to getting top American brands on shelves today. I have written and produced hundreds of creative concepts, presentations, stage events, developed broadcast reviews for NASCAR racing, which ran on national syndicated radio stations. I created a unique creative selling concept as a regular on four top national radio shows for over twenty years. Built and lost companies. Penned thousands of headlines and tag lines, named hundreds of products from automobiles to women’s hosiery. I created over 18,000 fine art prints distributed worldwide. The real show is the people, some famous, concepts developed, woven into an adventure which includes sex, theft, international spying, attempted murder, bribery, deceit, betrayal, as well as unwavering love and tenderness.
