I joined Stiles Financial Services in February 2023 as the Digital Brand Connector. My role is to bring consistency, clarity, and creativity to every client touchpoint by connecting our digital platforms, communications, and brand experience. Whether someone watches one of our videos, reads an article, attends an event, or visits our website, my goal is to make every interaction feel connected, relevant, and unmistakably Stiles.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of creativity and technology. After serving as a Creative Director at several Minneapolis advertising agencies, I moved into the digital space in 2009 and have been helping organizations adapt to an ever-changing technology landscape ever since. I’m constantly exploring emerging technologies—especially artificial intelligence—to identify practical ways they can improve communication, streamline processes, and ultimately create a better experience for our clients. I believe technology should enhance relationships, not replace them, and every new tool should serve a clear purpose.
At Stiles, I bring that same mindset to every project. Whether I’m producing educational videos, developing marketing campaigns, building digital experiences, or refining our brand, I focus on making complex ideas approachable while ensuring our communications remain consistent, trustworthy, and aligned with our fiduciary values. My background in design, branding, photography, and digital strategy allows me to approach challenges from multiple perspectives while always keeping the client experience at the center of the conversation.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with a camera in my hand or attending a live concert with my wife, Heidi. Photography has been a lifelong passion, and I enjoy capturing everything from live music to family portraits and candid moments at Stiles events. We have two adult children who are both well into their careers. Our daughter has built a career as a stylist at Spalon Montage, and our son is pursuing his passion as a jeweler’s apprentice. We also share our home with our two French Bulldogs, Penny and Pops, along with our daughter’s cat, Palo. Our family has been actively involved with the French Bulldog Rescue Network (FBRN) since its founding in 2001. I’m also a lifelong soccer enthusiast and previously served for nine years on the board of the Edina Soccer Association. Whether I’m following the latest developments in AI, behind the camera, or spending time with family, I’m always looking for new ways to learn, create, and connect with others.
