What got you into this business in the first place?
The promise of a huge expense account so I could awe people with my wine and dine skills and Jackie O. style. Wait… that was the 70’s.

What makes a great brand?
When you feel like the brand might make the list of top 50 words that describe you. It’s when you want to spead the love and make other people join your brand-loving cult.

What driving career goals do you still have?
World domination.

What talent do you wish you had?
Flying and X-ray vision are favorites. I’m also a fan of Super-Human Strength, but I’ve got that covered.

If you had to live on a desert island, what would you miss most?
My family and loved ones of course. I’d be so lonely I’d have to find my own volleyball named Wilson like Tom Hanks on Cast Away. Except I’d name it something much cooler.

What can’t you live without?
Water and food. Jeez. That one was easy.

What are your plans for after advertising?
On the “What I’m going to be” shortlist: famous writer, popular artist, top 40 singer, cooking show host, Olympic figure skater, traveling sword swallower, Nobel Prize winner. I’m being conservative.

What’s your favorite sports team?
The one where people run around a lot in matching outfits.

What’s your point of view about politics?
I’ve got a view with many points.

What do you do for a good time when you’re not working?
Plan trips. Blame my parents. I’ve got the severest form of the Travel Bug. I’ve heard it isn’t fatal.

What was college like for you?
An amazing collection of brain-stretching moments, socially outstanding activities and life altering experiences… Do I seem like a fan of UNC-Chapel Hill?

What are your favorite internet sites?
Dictionary.com’s “Word of the Day.” Check it out. Your brain will explode with amazement.

What is your theme song?
I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash (it’s gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun-shiny day)
