President/Creative Director at Dinng

We love to inspire others to do what inspires them. We call it "paying inspiration forward." That's why we help brands discover their Why behind what they do. Armed with their Why, we use graphics as well as words to turn those brands into movements.

Struck started in the basement with two guys and a dream. Building on a strong belief that exceptional creative can drive the best business results, it is now a full-service creative agency that builds and promotes brands through a philosophy of making things greater than they are. I lead the creative teams with passion and drive. Struck is spread across four offices from coast to coast with our headquarters nestled in downtown Salt Lake City.
