About ME

I build things that work: teams, operating models, brands, businesses. Marketing is one of the tools, not the whole story.

I’ve been building things since I was a teenager, when I started a landscaping business out of nothing. By the time I sold it at 25, it had grown into a 10 employee, 300 plus client operation, averaging 26% year over year growth, including an 84% jump in a single year. Nobody taught me how to do that. I figured out what needed building and built it, the P&L, the hiring, the brand, all of it.

That instinct followed me through a BS in Marketing and an MBA in International Business at Quinnipiac, and into 7+ years at Deloitte Digital, where my title says marketing consultant but the actual work is broader: running global programs, owning client relationships, rebuilding operating models, leading cross functional teams across double digit countries and stakeholder groups. Marketing is the domain I know best. Operating like the person who owns the outcome is the actual skill.

Before Deloitte, I was at The Wall Street Journal, where I first learned how to tell a story that holds someone’s attention.

Outside of work, I volunteer with God’s Love We Deliver, and spend a fair amount of time with a camera, traveling, and trying, with mixed results, to keep a rooftop garden alive.
