Co-Founder

Harvest

I sold Harvest to my business partner in 2018 in a very amicable split. 

Harvest Creative is a branding firm that excels in research, strategy and creative execution.

At Harvest, I managed all internal and external creative, strategy, programming, PR, photography, project management, and administrative teams to ensure timely delivery of all client projects. I also set P&L goals and company budget plans. 

Our project successes included a mix of marketing and branding/rebranding initiatives, digital work, and environmental design for clients in a range of industries. Some highlights include leading the rebranding of the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal program that is now in every Wendy’s in the US, development of Tractor Supply’s Neighbor’s Club loyalty program, developing branding and positioning for True Temper Golf to protect their position as the #1 shaft in the world, and design of eight Whole Foods stores.

I'm proud of Special Sauce, but it's my other 5 kids I'm most proud to have fathered. They're always going to like me no matter what you think. Hope you have someone in your life like that as well. 

Lover of riding bikes up mountains and skiing down them.

They buy what looks most impressive.
They underestimate what it really takes.
They think the hard part is over once they sign.


That’s why I built 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲.

→ To help founders avoid wasting years (or millions) on the wrong system.
→ To clarify what they truly need.
→ To shortlist vendors that actually fit.


On the other side, 𝗪𝗠𝗦 (𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱) 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁.

Startups building cool tech that doesn’t land.
Global players chasing the US without traction.
Everyone saying “3PLs and brands” without really understanding either.


That’s why I launched 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲.

→ To sharpen stories that founders actually hear.
→ To show vendors where their strengths live.
→ To help them earn trust where it counts.


𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

➡️ Clarity for operators.
➡️ Traction for vendors.

➡️ No spin or fluff. Just practical guidance that meets you where you are.
