Marketing Director · Senior Director · VP of Marketing

I turn marketing into revenue. And I build the teams behind it.

I've led marketing for consumer brands and for enterprise accounts, and I can show the numbers for both.

Video

I make work people remember.

Branded films, ads that aired on TV, event stories and short-form today. Video is one of the tools I use, alongside lifecycle, data and partnerships.

How I work

I start with the people.

I start by learning who a client or team really is, beyond what they sell. That understanding is what makes the work sound like them and perform for them.

Easter egg

Congratulations. You found it.

Most people read the case studies. You went straight for the footer logo, which tells me you notice details. That is a good habit in a marketer, and a good sign for us working together.

The secret: this whole site was built with AI, directed by me, and it costs $0 to host. My old site's hosting cost $350+ for three years, almost $120 a year, plus about $20 a year for the domain. I still pay for the domain. The hosting is free.
