Small Business Enthusiast

I am marketing strategist.  

I love to ask why things are the way they are – and build strategies to solve problems and find opportunities to help businesses grow.  I am most passionate about bringing perspective to stakeholders. 
I have a background in marketing and business development and I've learned what it takes for both large and small businesses to be successful in effectively marketing themselves.  I currently work for Advance Local / the Oregonian Media Group as Director of Client Digital Strategy where I get to engage with diverse clients daily.  I’ve worked with clients in retail, transportation (auto), real estate, education, legal, B2B manufacturing, among many other industries.  
I help clients oversee and evaluate market demand and adjust marketing strategy to meet changing market and competitive conditions.

•    Marketing strategy

•    Social advertising
•    Paid search

Personally, I love spending time with my family, the great outdoors (backpacking, hunting, cycling, etc), home automation hacks, great wine, exploring Portland.

If I had to describe myself with one word, it would likely be "curious". My thirst for knowledge has driven me since I was a baby. I love to ask why things are the way they are, to understand how things work – and build strategies to solve problems. Whether it be security/home automation, construction or business, I love figuring out how to make systems work. I've worked in several fields throughout my life, in sales, marketing, management and building small businesses. My greatest passions now lie at the intersection of small business and technology

Personally, I love spending time with my family, hunting, cycling, playing with home automation hacks, great wine, and exploring the great outdoors.
