About Me

I'm a career-long marketer based in Louisville, Colorado. I enjoy spending time with my family and pups in the wonderful Colorado outdoors.

I'm a results-oriented, veteran marketer.

Throughout my career I have been involved in many aspects of marketing, spanning from strategy and planning in the areas of awareness and branding, demand generation, product marketing, and sales enablement. I have been dubbed a “Jack of all Trades”, but I think this versatility is a representation of my mindset for producing the best possible end result. Always oriented to finding ways to engage customers at every stage of the buying cycle, I’ve helped organizations achieve growth through managing high performing teams and individually contributing. Working with a wide-range contributors at all levels of an organization, I have a passion for producing quality and effective deliverables and programs on time and within budget.
