One of them is even sometimes willing to be photographed, so he makes the website. This is an outdated picture, but I love it. So there ya go.

I like clients. They're why we have this gig in the first place.

I like account folks. They balance out the crazy.

I like planners. They make us smarter. So we can take the credit.

I like bosses. Bosses make us sweat. Sweat makes us better.

I love producers. Too many reasons to list.

Make that anyone in design/production/post. The real geniuses.

I respect the hell out of admins, HR, accounting, and everyone else keeping things running.

Creatives. They are my people. Enough said. (Although trees are my people as well, ask me some time.)

I like you. Unless you are an a--hole. I have a strict no a--hole policy.

I love my family, my dogs, trees, mountains, oceans, lakes, breathing, riding (bikes and boards,) surfing, hiking, running, reading, cooking, eating, thinking, doing stuff, making stuff, talking with you if you are interesting and challenging, going as far away as possible as often as possible, and listening to Tom Waits reading Bukowski's "The Laughing Heart" when I need some real perspective.

I love big ideas with simple insights.

And on almost all days, I truly love what I do.

Thanks for taking a look.
