PROFESSIONAL INFLUENCES:

– the Leo Burnett ethos, to "reach for the stars" and to "...create ideas that inspire enduring belief" – to me, this is about more than advertising.

– (this is a permanent shout out to) David Brazier, photographer.
Somehow, David remains in my mind and memory a constant reminder that you can see with your own eyes and define your own art.

– the only working definition of 'quality' I've ever needed: "Quality is the absence of non-quality signals"
(attributed to Jeff Woll, Ogilvy)
