Half-Man, Half-Meme, 100% SE

Do you see random memes on your LinkedIn feed? It’s probably me!

Are you getting phone calls from numbers you don't recognize? Me again :)

I'm only half-joking but when I'm not posting memes or cold calling, I'm doing everything I can to improve my business acumen and lead a life of integrity, optimism, and service. 

I'm passionate about making a positive impact in my personal and professional communities. Ultimately, my personal mission is to help others and hopefully make some people laugh along the way.

Streamlining Month-End, One Close at a Time

The LinkedIn algorithm never ceases to confuse me.

This comment on Jack Frimston's post got more impressions than my last 2 posts combined.

I spent minutes crafting those posts...MINUTES!

The comment took 10 seconds.

I don't know what this means but I'm pretty sure the lesson is to stop trying.

(Also Jack's content is actually good, link in comments)

I spent over 12 hours at the movie theaters this weekend. 🤯

You may say, that’s crazy, and I will counter with, yes but how often will I have the opportunity to eat my bodyweight in popcorn 3 days in a row?

TLDR: My big plans for the weekend were watching all the 3 lord of the rings movies which were re-released in theaters.

After re-watching all three movies, I can confidently say those movies are timeless. 

From the acting to the story, to the effects, it all holds up and each movie has a touching intro from Peter Jackson himself.

It also got me thinking about how great of an SDR Gollum would be, if he approached going after meetings with a small fraction of his passion for the ring, he would crush his quota every month, guaranteed.

In all seriousness it was incredibly fun and if you haven’t caught a matinee recently, I highly recommend it.

me sending a follow-up: "just bumping this to the top of your inbox!"

me 5 seconds later: that sounded annoying

me 10 seconds later: should i send another one apologizing?

me 15 seconds later: no that's worse

me 20 seconds later: maybe i'll just email from a different address and pretend to be someone else

Problem solved

Be kind to someone today, especially if that person is yourself. 😊
 
I often feel like there's a lot I need to get done and as a result, my self-care will fall by the wayside. One of my goals for this year was to be more present and to focus more on enjoying where I am and who I am with.
 
Self-care, self-kindness, and the way we speak to ourselves can have a profound impact on how we experience life and our overall enjoyment of our lives.

This is a friendly reminder to choose kindness today, especially when it comes to your relationship with yourself.

How do you express kindness to others and yourself? 😊

I gave up YouTube in 2025.

Don’t get me wrong, I love YouTube, but it just felt like a time suck that wasn’t serving me anymore.

As a result, I wound up doing different things in my free time, like:

-Getting back into running 🏃
-Starting a podcast 🎙️
-Vibe coding (my vibes are infinitely better than my coding skills) ⌨️

Ultimately, I got bored more, which caused me to try things I haven’t done before and push myself in ways I haven’t.

This year I am giving up 2 things which I also love:

-Sour candy 🍋
-Energy drinks 🔋

Not all heroes wear capes, some just skip putting gummies in their cart at the grocery store.

Stay posted for updates throughout the year.

Oh yeah, and I’m posting on LinkedIn more this year. Sharing my wins, my losses, and everything in between.

PUMPED TO BE BACK!

Dealio (joindealio.com) is the affordable local advertising platform for small businesses that actually works. Over time, we want every small business to be able to come to Dealio to reach local customers across every channel from one place.

We’re building Dealio for a specific moment: 2025/2026 feels like the edge of a recession, maybe worse. That pressure will push a lot of great small businesses to the brink. The only way they will survive is if their communities can actually find them, remember them, and choose them. Dealio exists to spotlight the best local businesses so neighbors and tourists alike can discover and support them.

This isn’t my first time here. I co‑founded PhatDeals (phatdeals.net) in 2007, 14 months before Groupon – a “Craigslist for coupons” where small businesses could post local deals and customers could text coupons to their phone. That experience taught me what worked, what didn’t, and how to build a more disciplined, community‑anchored version with Dealio today.

Over the last two decades I’ve spent ~30,000 hours in sales and customer‑facing roles across SaaS, hardware, and local small businesses. My superpower is earning trust quickly and converting that trust into long‑term relationships. I’m at my best when I’m out in the field with owners and customers, then turning those conversations into clear next steps, follow‑ups, and repeat business. I like being the bridge between technical products and real human needs.

Right now, my primary focus is building Dealio in the East Bay – onboarding merchants, driving foot traffic, and validating a model that truly works for Main Street.

Alongside that, I’m open to a small number of 3–6 month GTM / field sales projects in the Bay Area that align with my strengths: in‑person customer work, local market development, and turning ambiguity into a repeatable sales motion. I also occasionally advise early founders on finding the right idea and resources to get started.

If you’re an investor, operator, or small business leader who cares about local commerce and community, or you’re exploring GTM work that fits this profile, I’m always up for a conversation.
