Marketing, web development & design — Southern California
About
I’ve spent 24 years working across marketing, web development, and design, building websites, campaigns, and brands for private schools, dental and medical practices, law firms, sports companies, and just about everything in between.
I’m interested in what actually works. I’ve never had much patience for hype, buzzwords, or selling people things they don’t need. And I tend to come at problems from a different angle than most people — not head-on, but sideways — which is how you find the answers everyone else walked past. When the standard playbook is too expensive or just doesn’t fit, that’s usually when I get the call.
These days, much of my focus is on AI, one of the few technologies I think has actually earned the attention it’s getting. My approach is simple: don’t run from it. Figure out where it’s genuinely useful and put it to work. I help businesses identify where AI can make a real difference, then build the tools and systems to make that happen.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife and four kids. I’m also into volleyball, drones, photography, writing, and designing things to 3D print.
