I was an athlete at an art school.
I was a writer at a design school. I am a Southern boy who lived in the Big Apple – let's just say I prefer to be outside of my comfort zone.
I’ve been in the ad industry for 13 years and have led projects and campaigns at ad agencies, in-house firms, and production houses across Seattle, NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta.
A little history? Well, my first love was food and cooking. That turned into photography. That got me to focus on advertising and storytelling — I've been doing that ever since. Now, I’m looking for my next adventure.
If you need writing expertise, I’m available to collaborate. I'm also big into fantasy sports; you can see if I won my week in fantasy football or baseball here: www.didreid.win
