Nice to meet you.
I really appreciate you taking the opportunity to learn a bit more about me.
I live in San Diego, California and I’m the co-founder of Grow and Convert (a content marketing agency). I also co-founded the SaaS app Wordable.io (which was acquired in Nov 2017).
Previously, I lived in San Francisco for two years where I ran marketing for two different venture-backed startups – Everwise and Thinkapps.
Before making the move to San Francisco, I lived in San Diego for 16 years where I started my first content agency Social Proof Interactive, worked at Mitek Systems and Vistage Worldwide– both in marketing.
I enjoy surfing, traveling, and eating great food (Oh, and La Croix as you can see from the image above.).
I write about my experiences running a business while traveling, marketing, tech, startups and share some opinions.
Here are some articles that I have been featured in, or written:

Work With Me
Want 1:1 help from me on marketing startups?
Some of the things I’ve accomplished:
- I grew the ThinkApps blog from 0-35,000 monthly unique visitors per month, converted 5 and 6-figure deals off the blog, and our blog became the number one source of leads for our company.
- We grew the Grow and Convert site to 24,000 monthly sessions in 4.5 months.
- We grew our agency from 0-$34,000/ monthly recurring revenue in 4 months after we launched it.
- I helped our SaaS product Wordable grow to over 600 customers in a year.
- At Vistage, I grew their blog from 2,000 to 20,000 sessions in a year, created the LinkedIn advertising program and grew it from $0-200k/year because it was the lowest cost per qualified lead channel in marketing, and created a prospecting program on LinkedIn and ended up hiring a full-time employee because it was so successful.
What I can help you with:
- I can help answer your questions about marketing, content marketing and growth.
- I can help you with your building out your content strategy.
- I can help give you ideas on things to test marketing wise.
