About

I'm 34 years old and I have worked in advertising for over half a decade now. As anyone to whom Math isn't Greek can surmise, I got into the game pretty late, but my path to advertising was interesting and prepared me in ways I would never have guessed. My Bachelors and Masters degrees in Automotive Engg taught me the value of logical reasoning and sharpened my problem solving skills. My 3 1/2 year stint in shipping and logistics for a major automobile manufacturer taught me how to work under pressure and deliver against critical deadlines. And my borderline crippling disinterest in school introduced me to a world of pop culture and literature that I had never thought would ever come in handy until the first day I stepped into an advertising agency. I love solving problems and I love ideas
