I'm a Digital Marketing Specialist and business consultant with over 20 years' experience working for marketing and advertising agencies across America. I've spoken at Microsoft Headquarters, wrote for Fox Reality and AOL/Time-Warner, and have advised hundreds of businesses from tech startups and law firms to CEOs asking for help planning exit strategies.
My goal is to demystify digital marketing and business growth for those who need it most, America's small business owner, and help clarify where the two meet.
While finishing a degree in English (with an emphasis in Creative Writing) and interning at several local newspapers, I began studying web design and SEO while still in college. I soon began working with small business clients across the area and then online. Once I graduated and worked for several marketing agencies and publishers, I started freelancing as well, started a mediation nonprofit organization, then started a small digital marketing agency while still working full-time, eventually retired, then volunteered as a certified business mentor for several nonprofit agencies (including SCORE a division of the U.S. Small Business Administration) for almost a decade. I'm currently working on a book to demystify digital marketing and business planning for today's small business owner while still working with a small number of clients.
