I bring a strategist’s mindset and a builder’s discipline to every engagement. With deep experience across analytics, data, digital marketing, automation, SEO, brand management, content, and paid media, I focus on helping brands move with clarity and convert with purpose.
My expertise spans account leadership, full-funnel campaign strategy, and marketing operations—bringing together the creative, the technical, and the tactical. I design integrated campaigns tailored to real customer personas, focused on hitting KPIs and driving recurring revenue. Whether I’m leading a team, mapping out a content system, or building marketing automation workflows, I’m always tracking what matters: performance.
I specialize in building lead nurturing systems that don’t just generate interest—they generate customers. I work closely with sales teams to create closed-loop analytics that show exactly how marketing drives results, then refine those processes to keep improving conversion rates. It’s not just about launching campaigns. It’s about making sure they work, scale, and keep getting smarter.
From national award-winning marketing campaigns to local start-ups, I have run point for account relationships and project management out of Syracuse, NY, and throughout the country.
I have spoken in multiple associations, seminars, and keynotes in large and small. My marketing expertise and consultation has been in-demand among leading best practice & expertise in the industry.
I specialize in evaluating and optimizing marketing tech stacks to ensure every tool serves a purpose—and every integration drives performance. I align technology with strategy to eliminate friction.
I’ve earned certifications across key platforms—including Google Ads, Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Meta—giving me the technical fluency to lead strategy and execution across the full marketing stack. These aren’t just checkboxes—they’re tools I use every day to drive smarter decisions, sharper campaigns, and stronger results.
The results speak for themselves—and so do my partners. I’ve earned consistent praise from clients and industry leaders for delivering strategic clarity, measurable impact, and marketing systems that actually perform. The trust we build shows up in testimonials, long-term partnerships, and a track record of growth across industries.
I don’t do cut-and-paste strategy. Every business is different—your goals, your audience, your data, your challenges. That’s why everything I build is tailored: grounded in insight, tested in execution, and designed to solve the problems that actually move the needle. Templates don’t grow companies. Strategy does.
Certified in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), I bring deep knowledge of event-based tracking, audience segmentation, and performance attribution—giving clients real visibility into what’s driving growth and where to optimize.
Certified in Google Ads Manager, I design and optimize high-performing campaigns across search, display, and YouTube—driving qualified traffic, improving ROAS, and scaling spend with precision. Every dollar is tracked. Every move is intentional.
Meta certified, I create high-performing Facebook and Instagram campaigns that drive engagement, conversions, and real results. From audience targeting to creative testing and performance scaling, I turn Meta’s platform into a growth engine.
Certified in HubSpot Marketing and Sales Hub, I build connected systems that align marketing and sales—from lead capture and automation to pipeline management and reporting—so every stage of the funnel works smarter and converts faster.
Certified in Salesforce, I help teams streamline lead management, align sales and marketing efforts, and build reporting systems that track the full customer journey—turning CRM data into decisions that drive revenue.
Certified in Marketo, I build and manage automated campaigns with reporting frameworks that track engagement, lead quality, and ROI—giving teams clear visibility into what’s working and where to optimize.
In a world overloaded with content, ads, and noise—only the smartest strategy breaks through. I don’t deal in guesswork. I deal in signals. Patterns. Proof.
Data is how I partner to find your audience. Strategy is how I move them. Content is just noise if it’s not built on insight. Ads don’t perform if they don’t hit the right target at the right time. Social doesn’t convert if it doesn’t connect. I use data not just to inform, but to predict, personalize, and outperform. My work isn’t built to look good in a pitch deck. It’s built to drive outcomes in the real world. This isn’t marketing for the past. This is marketing built for the now. Backed by data. Fueled by intelligence.
And accountable to results. Always. Welcome to actual marketing. The kind that works.

Born and raised in Syracuse, NY, I’ve always had a deep connection to this community — its people, its pace, and its potential. I built my marketing career on national stages, but my heart’s always been here in Central New York, helping businesses grow with strategy that’s both smart and personal.
I’m a family-first kind of guy. Family, friends, girlfriend, father, dog owner — that’s my real foundation. I believe that the same trust and loyalty that matters at home is what builds lasting client relationships and real marketing impact. When I’m not deep in dashboards or mapping out a customer journey, you’ll find me on the golf course, out on the boat, or exploring the lakes, breweries, and small towns that make Upstate NY and the Carolinas so special.
My loyalty runs deep: Syracuse Orange everything, Buffalo Bills forever, and I’ve been riding the Knicks rollercoaster for longer than I care to admit.
Professionally, I’ve spent over 25 years in marketing and in way too many meetings — leading teams, launching brands, building growth systems, and helping businesses cut through the clutter with strategy that actually performs. I’ve worked inside large agencies, led boutique teams, and built proprietary tools that give companies the insight they need to scale.
But what I love most is helping local businesses thrive — bringing big-agency thinking and enterprise-level execution to the companies that fuel this region. Whether it’s fractional CMO support, custom dashboards, lead generation systems, or full-funnel strategy, I align my expertise with your business goals to move the needle and build something lasting.
I started this work to do more than market. I started it to partner. To lead with insight. To build trust. And to make a real difference right here, where it matters most. If you’re a business in Central New York (or beyond) looking for clarity, momentum, and measurable results, let’s connect.
We’re not just growing brands. We’re growing communities.
