Background

Summary

I am an avid entrepreneur with strong marketing roots. As VP and Partner of Accelerator Marketing, I lead a strong and capable team to perform great marketing campaigns for our clients. Bootstrapping the business with SEO services, we have grown our marketing firm into a full-service agency that represents clients from many industries.

As a dreamer and hustler I am almost always working on new ideas to disrupt "old school" industries. Currently I am working on a daily news publishing platform called NEWSIE. Contact me for more details or stay tuned for our official launch!

Specialties: Operations management, team & project management, brainstorming & planning, creative direction, market research, web programming (HTML, CSS, JQuery, & PHP), marketing automation, media buying, traditional marketing and internet/social media marketing (SEO, SEM, PPC, & CRO).
