Dusty is a real piece of work. He's thrilled to speak to you now, in the third person.
Though he's never received a speeding ticket, Dusty has been ticketed for disturbing the peace whilst wearing a gorilla suit in Yellowstone National Park. He feels that Ranger Dennis Young lacked a sense of humor regarding the situation, but, whatever.
One time, Dusty studied business and film at BYU. He’s taken a choose-your-own-adventure approach ever since, starting a number of businesses, producing independent films, and spearheading many creative endeavors.
Dusty has served as the creative director for multiple startups and ad agencies, leading teams in creating impactful ad campaigns for web, social, and television. Dusty's viral campaigns have surpassed 10X returns on their budgets, and carved out overnight brand awareness in crowded markets.
A while ago, television called, and Dusty answered. He’s since been involved with production and postproduction on four different TV shows. Dusty currently sports the title of Co-executive Producer on a show that showcases the work of non-profits, “Making Good.” Thirty-three episodes into the show, it’s been one heck of a run.
Dusty has had the privilege of puking his guts out at Everest Basecamp, hiding from a rebel militia on the Ugandan border, filming the world’s largest lava lake, eating the wrong part of the fish in the Philippines, photographing critically endangered mountain gorillas, running for his life from a charging water buffalo, and of course, crawling headfirst into occupied bear dens.
A believer that his small-town upbringing in Idaho provided the constraints in which his creativity could thrive, he's anxious to combine his diverse experience to provide outstanding, creative solutions for clients and causes, big and small.
