Sam is an Associate Creative Director at Touch Worldwide, where he has spent the past 14 years shaping video and motion work for organizations including Starbucks, The Gates Foundation, Microsoft, and GitHub. His approach is grounded in strategy — before a camera rolls, he works to understand who the audience is, what they should walk away knowing or feeling, and how the content needs to build toward that outcome. That grounding is what allows the work to stay authentic while still serving the brand. A typical day sees him somewhere between set, a live event, or an edit bay, bringing the same attentiveness to his clients as he does to his teams, from pitch through delivery.

Outside of Touch, Sam has spent over a decade behind a drum kit. He was a founding member of General Mojo's, releasing four albums, and now plays with Seattle-based indie-Americana outfit Old Coast, whose second full-length album releases in October 2026. He's currently recording as drummer on projects with several other Seattle bands.
