Hi. I'm Jack. A Passionate Marketer, Design Guru, and Devoted Dog Dad.

About Me

I am a skilled graphic designer and arts marketer who recently graduated from the MFA Theatre Management program at Florida State University’s prestigious School of Theatre in May of 2023. I currently serve as the Director of the Fine Arts Ticket Office at FSU and serve as an Adjunct Professor, teaching Arts Marketing, Graphic Design, and Theatre Management in the School of Theatre. Prior to my enrollment in the Theatre Management program, I worked as the Marketing and Sales Manager at Gretna Theatre in Central Pennsylvania, where I gained valuable experience in the field. I also completed internships with Seagle Music Colony and Steppenwolf Theatre Company, serving as a Marketing and Public Relations intern and technical intern, respectively. Alongside my work experience with non-profit arts organizations, I have completed successful freelance marketing and design projects for Quarry Theatre in Baltimore, MD, The Asian Coalition of Tallahassee, in Tallahassee, FL, Southern Shakespeare Company in Tallahassee, FL, and The Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, PA. I am a Digital Marketing graduate of Stevenson University and currently reside in Tallahassee, FL with my three-year-old Staffordshire Terrier named Rosie.
