How'd you get here?
Went for a drink with Matt Bostrom and he asked me if I would like to come back to Finn. I said yes, because I believe in working hard and playing nice. I love bold creativity, and working hard to make it happen while enjoying and sharing the process with teammates and clients, is the only way I know how to get it done.
