I’m a Des Moines native who found his calling in market research and consumer insights. And since 2005, I’ve called Flynn Wright home. Whether I’m moderating a focus group, crunching consumer survey data or working with the team to add color about the consumer perspective, I’m driven by a keen interest in understanding why consumers think and behave the way they do.

When I’m not buried in spreadsheets, canvasing my office walls with Post-It notes of recent qualitative discussion themes, or catching a mid-day lunch at The Walnut, I’m likely hanging out with my incredible wife, Sarah, and our cute-but-vocal (ie. opinionated) Boston Terrier, Miche. Nearly all of my favorite sports teams are from Chicago and have animal mascots (Da Bulls, Da Bears, Da Cubs). I love the outdoors and split our vacations between Phoenix, Las Vegas, and (if Sarah can talk me into it) Miami. I grew up on hip-hop, cut my teeth playing bass on stages around Central Iowa, love painting and reading, and have promised myself that one day I will break 85 in a round of golf.
