Résumé

Hello everyone.

Welcome to my blog / portfolio. There is a lot in here. Most of it generated great results for my clients. And most of it was award winning. A lot of print, non-traditional and web work. TV is at the end. After more than 15 years in the biz I can pretty much do it all. Please use the links from the blog archive after my resume instead of scrolling down. It'll be easier and faster to load especially for the TV ads.

If you need my official semi-cheesy bio, I can send it to you. In the meantime here is the little resume.

Alright, I haven’t been decorated with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Advertising yet, but people who know me will say this: I am hard working, show tons of initiative, am creative and confident. They will also agree on the fact that I am a leader with a great spirit for adventure. I am sometimes intense. I am sometimes stubborn. But I always care. A lot. And I speak English and French.

I don’t have an MBA from Harvard but I am strategic or business minded when needs be. I am not as eloquent a person as I would like to be but I can get up and speak with ease to people about creativity, hope and courage.

What else? Well I like to live the good life, spend time with my family. I love to work with good, respectful people. I love to watch my kids grow. I am not a philosopher but I do like to take things philosophically. Oh yeah, and I have a real knack for taking life on the good side, to be happy I guess.

Here's my work experience so far.

I don’t like
People who won’t change their minds ever, systems or things that can’t be modified, being told we can’t, cold weather, being sick, talking about stuff too much, hyper rational people, not being able to sleep, to think I won’t live forever, kids who are mean to my daughter. And not being able to laugh.

I like
Traveling with my family, chocolate, biking, fine arts, beer, playing guitar even though I suck, great speeches, nature, the 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole Ferrari, Charlie, Zakk, Sophie, my mom, my pop, my bro, Kahlil Gibran, John Irving, Eddie Van Halen (old stuff), Nils Petter Molvaer and friendship. I don't mind a good glass of wine or a gin and tonic once in a while.

My work has been recognized in Quebec, across Canada and internationally. I have received awards from The One Show, Communication Arts, Les Lions de Cannes, LIA, Extra Awards, Applied Arts, Publicité Club de Montréal, Marketing Magazine, CRÉA, and the Cassies.

So that's about it for now.
