Tell us about your physical office. What are the coolest parts? What do you love most about the work environment? 
"When you’re working a lot of long hours, it can suck the life out of your soul when you’re trapped deep inside the interior walls of an agency with no access to light or life on the outside. Ammirati has an open floor plan, clean design, and tons of windows. Good taste in music playing on the overhead speakers and a new kegerator are always nice additions, as well. But ultimately, it’s the people here that make this place so great."

Favorite ad campaign of all time? 
"I grew up in Ohio playing a lot of sports and watching a lot of sports, so I’ve always been a fan of the 'This is Sportscenter' work. I also never looked away from those old 'The High Life Man' spots from Wieden. But I’d say the old VW work had the greatest impact on shifting the way agencies approached creative."

Any favorite work currently out there?
"I will first and foremost shamelessly plug our own agency without hesitation, because I’m closest to the work that’s going on over here at Ammirati, and I know our teams are developing some great work. So, stay tuned for that. But outside of these walls, there are a handful of agencies creating some excellent work for their clients, most notably of late, the stuff from BFG9000 for Kayak. It’s always inspiring to see other shops pushing the originality and effectiveness of creative work."
