Marketing that performs. Media that sells.

I help small and mid-size businesses build and scale marketing that actually works — from first-dollar paid media to full omnichannel strategy. With an MBA in marketing and years spent managing millions in monthly ad spend, I bring senior-level firepower without the full-time overhead.

MBA Marketing Emphasis

Built in the trenches.
Grounded in strategy.

I started in the field — running operations for an eCommerce business, doing my own photography, managing my own ads. That ground-level foundation is what separates me from consultants who've only ever worked from a boardroom.

Before going independent, I spent two years managing the day-to-day operations of a DTC brand, three years as a project manager for an integrated marketing agency, and four and a half years as a Senior Google Strategist at OMG Commerce, one of the country's top performance marketing agencies. I managed millions in monthly spend, built dedicated specialist teams, and helped brands scale from stagnant to record-breaking. Most recently, I led all Google and Microsoft Ads efforts across a portfolio of DTC supplement brands at Grüns.

I also hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, and have worked as a director of photography for major brands including Interstate Batteries, Polycom/Poly, and Midtronics. My work covers commercial, real estate, oilfield, and large-property/ranch media across Texas.
