Growth · Media Buying · Leadership

I turn marketing budgets into measurable growth.

Sixteen years leading growth and media teams, building full-funnel campaigns across paid, owned, and emerging channels, and proving what every dollar returned.

What I do

Three disciplines, one job: making the budget work harder than it should.

01

Growth Marketing

Full-funnel campaigns across email, SMS, affiliate, and social: owned and paid channels working together so spend compounds instead of leaking.

02

Media Buying

Getting your message in front of the right people at the right cost, across CTV, digital audio, display, search, and social.

03

Leadership & Management

Building and leading marketing teams and agencies: hiring for potential, developing talent past what they thought they could do, and shipping as a unit.

Selected work

Campaigns with receipts.

Beyond the dashboards

Building things to last is an act of rebellion.

I grew up in a small home in Western New York that my great-grandfather built by hand, three generations under one roof. It taught me that things made with care are meant to endure. I bring the same conviction to the teams I lead and the brands I build.

Off the clock: husband, writer, podcaster, lifelong hockey sufferer, and a forever student of history.
