For 20+ years Steve has been managing the creative and strategic direction for some of the world’s most recognizable brands at some of the top creative agencies in the country.
Steve’s work has garnered every major advertising and marketing award from Cannes, D&AD, CLIO, London International, New York Festivals, Stephen E. Kelly, Effie Worldwide, the One Show, National ADDY, the Art Directors Club, the ANDYs. But above all, he is most proud of the Emmy he won for his Citibank ID Theft campaign. He was also part of the team that worked on the groundbreaking BMW Films. At Martin, he pitched and won Purina Feed, which makes food for every animal other than dogs and cats. Which came in handy when having dinner conversation with his wife, a large animal veterinarian. He currently runs the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line account.
Steve began his career as a Communication Design major at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. After several years as a designer in NYC he attended The Portfolio Center in Atlanta. He currently lives outside of Richmond, VA with his wife, two kids, two cats, eight chickens, a horse and a snake named Vincent.
