I spent a good portion of my professional career as an agency art director and creative director helping to build large blue chip brands like McDonalds, Delta, Harley Davidson, Midway Video Games, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Homeland Security, US Customs and Border Protection and more. I shifted my career to helping to build smaller challenger brands and startups when I had my own agency focused on ecomm, automotive, sports apps, and managed services. As a startup founder building a food app I learned a tremendous amount about building MVPs, product market fit and market research. And most recently as a CMO I helped grow our software development, digital marketing and IT staffing agency and leading strategy for clients focused on go-to-market strategies. I’m also the board chair for an Atlanta-based nonprofit focused on family homelessness.
