As the chief orchestrator behind Milwaukee’s Rev Pop – an enterprise that emerged from my college screen-printing antics and an unwavering love for vintage visuals. Chalk it up to the infectious allure of old movie posters or perhaps an Art Chantry art piece caught at just the right angle. The moniker ‘Rev Pop’? A cheeky nod to engine revs and pop art, with a respectful tip of the hat to Sub Pop records.

Before this endeavor, I toured the states with Fever Marlene, strumming tunes and sleeping in the backrow of a van we purchased off Craigslist.

Madison, Wisconsin acquainted me with Psychology, and Chicago’s advertising giants further whetted my professional appetite. Yet, instead of diving into Freudian slip-ups, I fancy myself a Robin Williams-esque Brand Therapist (from “Good Will Hunting”, mind you), albeit without the degree. In this avatar, I play counselor to brand mavens, dissecting brand dilemmas over a cuppa or two ( maybe a cigarette ).

Just north of the city in a 2 acre lot surrounded by trees and roaming coyotes, you’ll find the bustling Starr hub where my wife, our lively duo – Wilder and Tilly, and our four-legged daugs, Lucy and George, plot our next adventure.

Speaking of adventures, we offer hospitality via an Airbnb in Bay View and wander the U.S. in our trusty RV. Europe? Been painting the town red, especially in Amsterdam, for over a decade now.

As for downtime, you might catch me tinkering in the recording studio or perhaps nose-deep in film photography. Old films, screenplay scribbles, and directorial stints with my son making Spielberg-esque movies in the backyard.

From dreamy psychology aspirations to the kaleidoscope of design, life’s been an intriguing roller-coaster. As I continue to embrace both roles and riddles, here’s to crafting tales, unearthing challenges, and forging ahead with a wink of the eye. Cheers to wit, wisdom, and the whimsical!
