About

An owner first, a marketer second.

I've built, bought, and sold businesses, and held leadership roles inside growing companies. That's the lens I bring to your marketing.

My story

TODO: your story in your own words, a few short paragraphs. What you've built, what you've learned the hard way, and why you do this work now.

Where it started

At 13, I rode a Murray tractor more than two miles to mow a lawn for $40.

Later, at a movie theater, I sold the extra posters, and my eBay seller name is still "aposterforyou." I've always loved bringing ideas to life and finding the business in the problem that needs solving.

TODO: edit these stories so they sound like you, and add a line or two connecting them to what you do now.

What I believe

Three things I keep coming back to.

  • Marketing runs through every part of a business, not just the ads. It's how you hire, how you price, how you show up.
  • A realistic next step beats a perfect plan. The best advice is the kind you can actually act on this month.
  • You don't have to do it all yourself. I lead the strategy and bring in specialists for the rest. That's by design, and it gets better results.

Home base

East Atlanta Village.

I live and work in East Atlanta Village, where I'm involved in the community, serve on nonprofit boards, and mentor other people building things. I do my consulting through Tailwind Marketing Shop.

TODO: confirm how much of this you want public, and add anything you'd like people to know.
