Will’s love of advertising is like a rich chocolate syrup you could drizzle on a sundae. He loves a good idiom, spins a good yarn, and has been known to tell a rib tickler or two. He’s combined all of these attributes to become an award-winning writer and creative director, creating marquee commercials, films, and campaigns for the biggest brands on the planet.
He’s given Cookie Monster an existential crisis, made the Rock LOL in IRL, and made Bryce Harper cry.
When he’s not busy making ads, he’s busy raising a family and starting music projects that he’s not going to finish.
