Market Builder | Growth Leader | Strategic Partnerships
Building Markets. Growing Businesses. Creating Opportunity.
Over the past 15+ years, I've helped organizations build new markets, scale revenue, develop strategic partnerships, and create lasting business growth across technology, SaaS, media, and advertising.
The work has taken me from leading sales organizations and launching new territories to building industry communities and creating partnerships that continue long after the deal is signed.
About
Building what's next.
I've always gravitated toward opportunities where growth has to be earned. Whether it's launching a new market, rebuilding a business, or bringing an industry together, I enjoy figuring out what moves people to act and then building the partnerships, strategy, and execution to make it happen. Different industries, same mindset: leave things stronger than I found them.
How I Work
Builder first. Growth always.
Market Builder
Every organization reaches moments where growth requires building something new. Whether entering a new market, launching a new capability, or creating relationships where none previously existed, I've always been drawn to that stage of the business.
Building markets requires equal parts strategy, execution, and patience. The goal isn't simply to generate revenue. It's to create a foundation that continues to grow long after the initial opportunity.
Growth Leader
Growth has never been about chasing the next sale. Sustainable growth comes from building strong teams, improving execution, creating repeatable processes, and helping people succeed together.
The best organizations don't rely on individual performance. They create systems that allow great people to consistently do great work.
Strategic Partnerships
The strongest partnerships create value for everyone involved.
Throughout my career I've worked with enterprise brands, agencies, technology companies, publishers, startups, and industry organizations to develop relationships built on trust, collaboration, and long-term success rather than short-term transactions.

Leadership
Leadership beyond the job description.
Leadership has always extended beyond my day-to-day responsibilities.
Whether speaking on stage, hosting conversations through the What's Happening in Marketing podcast, organizing industry events, or coaching youth hockey, I've found the greatest opportunities often come from bringing people together.
Creating communities where people can learn, connect, and grow has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

Life Beyond Work
Family, coaching, Colorado, and staying active.
Success isn't defined entirely by work.
Some of the most rewarding moments happen away from the office. Coaching youth hockey, spending time with family, exploring Colorado by bike or trail, traveling somewhere new, or slowing down long enough to perfect a loaf of sourdough all provide perspective that carries back into leadership and business.
Staying active, continuing to learn, and making time for the people who matter most has always been an important part of maintaining balance.
