My Work
“That’s Entertainment w/ M2!”
Back in the day, I used to have a sweet gig talking to celebrities. I got to be pretty good at it. I mean, I am, after all … me.
“What The Chic”
One day out of the clear blue sky I got a call to audition for a spokesperson gig. Shockingly, I got it. Now I’m the face of Halls Department Stores. Halls (of famed parent company Hallmark) is known for their upscale, ritzy, ooh-la-la merchandise and apparel. They launched a new webisode series called “What The Chic” to give style tips and ideas. Trust me, I don’t look this good in real life. You can thank a talented hair/make-up artist and phenomenal stylist for that. And note the $295 jeans I’m wearing. Ooh-la-la, indeed!
“SAVE Inc.’s Dignity”
The ad agency I work for gives me a lot of room to do philanthropic projects on the side. “SAVE Inc.” is a local charity in KC that provides housing options and hospice care to men, women and families who have HIV/AIDS. We’ve done a number of videos for them over the years. The videos have raised over $750,000 for the charity and have been nominated for two Emmy awards. Here’s the new 2008 version. Get your Kleenexes ready and enjoy!
“Books For Kids”
Books For Kids is an organization which doles out millions upon millions of books to children on the East Coast who may not have access to reading material. Not only do they build inner-city libraries, they are rapidly expanding beyond the Tri-State area. Give a child a book — and he’ll learn. Give me a camera crew, meanwhile, and I’ll produce a documentary on this amazing literacy program.
“Tantrum”
Ah yes, the commercial that put me on the map. From Poughkeepsie to Peoria and Butte to Boca Raton … this commercial that I wrote, produced, directed (and, unfortunately, starred in) has been seen in over 50% of the country. Mercifully, it is no longer airing. My 15 minutes of fame are WAY over.
“TLC for Kids”
Every year my team at the ad agency does a pro-bono video for a local charity. We recently unveiled this particular one in October 2008 for “TLC” … a local shelter for battered and abused children. The agency I work for is within walking distance of TLC … so we decided to team up and work together in 2008. It seemed like the neighborly thing to do for such a worthwhile cause!
