Hi there. This is where I
tell you about myself.
This is the page where I’m supposed to tell you some fun anecdotes to show some personality. Like the major culture shock I experienced when I moved from a Copenhagen, straight out of ad-school, to Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami. Or the juxtaposition of a 6’6 viking looking guy who plays nothing but reggaeton music and has only floral shirts in his closet. Or even how I traveled San Antonio to test myself, and see if i could complete the “spiciest burger in the world challenge” (turns out I could).
But the truth is, I’m just a happy-go-lucky guy, a new dad, and an eternal optimist who appreciates beautiful things and has a deep passion for advertising and 11 years of experience creating cool shit.
