Professional Sam:

I used to suffer from debilitating OCD, but now it’s just OCD. And depending on whom you ask, I’m either blessed or cursed with sarcasm. We all have our blemishes, but fortunately for me, copywriting channels my type-A neuroses into employable creative work, or at least some mildly amusing tweets.

Creative challenges ARE business challenges, and copywriting is foundational to narrative building. We live in a golden age of storytelling, with many tools available to reach diverse audiences with messaging that's refined, relatable, or downright rambunctious. I have stacked a broad skillset to complement my writing and allow me to ask the “why?” to everything I do (existential crises included).

I range from perfectly cromulent to pretty neat at long-form writing, video scriptwriting, Adobe Creative Suite, Google Analytics, social media management, research, brand strategy, message development, and leaving inspirational post-it notes on people’s desks.

I am certified Drama-Free. If you ask me to fetch you a latte, I’ll see it as an opportunity to pad my Fitbit stats. This is the kind of can-do positive attitude I’ll bring to the office.

Unprofessional Sam:

I listen to anything from garage rock, to indie synth-pop, to hip-hop, to silky smooth jazz and/or funk… whatever piques my earbuds for the day. I play hockey and beach volleyball, have completed a half marathon, and attempt yoga. I appreciate Old Fashioneds and Sour Patch kids. I am a chronic fantasy footballer, a devourer of books, and an aspiring competent pool player.

I’m always ready to unleash a killer falsetto at karaoke bars and deploy my full arsenal of dad jokes that I’ve been told are “at least a seven out of 10.” I also can’t go a day without the online opiate of binge-watching YouTube videos. Whatever—we all have our vices.
