General info

Dallas, TX

After 20 years as a copywriter and creative director, I've also begun expressing myself without words. Just the quiet, butterfly-with-knives sound of my camera shutter. A major relief to some familiar with my epic voice projection and fiendish laugh when a big idea hits. I'm up for a variety of writing and photo assignments. Basically, any creative challenge will do.

Experience

  • Chief Freelance Officer
    Dallas, TX
    Oct 2005 - Present
    Fidd Worldwide

    Since beginning at D’Arcy on Budweiser in 1990, I’ve written for numerous global clients, won several international awards, worked in every media created to date, filmed on four continents and had work translated into more languages than I can ask for the nearest bathroom. After such far-ranging experience, I figured why not open the world’s most dynamic one-man advertising agency, mostly as a thinly-veiled cover for freelance work? Today, it’s Fidd Worldwide. Tomorrow, ads for a local dry cleaners.

    Fiddography

    While still growing as a photographer, my images have begun appearing in books, magazines, news publications, calendars and stock photography in addition to commercial work and commissions. Although I enjoy shooting anything that moves, or doesn't, I try to tell an unexpected, amusing or shocking story with every photo.
