About me

From the mailroom to Wall Street to founder.

My marketing career started in the mailroom of a marketing company right after high school. I studied finance and economics, launched my first real company as a college junior, and pre-sold $100,000 of product in 30 days, 10x the goal.

After four years on Wall Street working with ultra-high-net-worth clients, I came back to building. Today I run a digital marketing agency for small and mid-sized businesses, advise founders, and invest.

Areas of expertise

Three disciplines. One growth plan.

Most advisors know one side of the business. I bring marketing, finance and operating experience to the same table.

Marketing

15+ years across print and digital. I run a digital marketing consultancy for large tech companies and an agency built to give small businesses the same strategy the big players use.

Finance

Four years on Wall Street managing portfolios for ultra-high-net-worth clients, backed by a degree in finance and economics. I still analyze investments daily for myself and clients.

Entrepreneurship

I launched my first company in college and pre-sold $100K in 30 days. I know the late nights, the cash-flow math and what it takes to get from idea to launch day.
