The Customer Journey Maestro

If you can't beat them, join them. I have resigned from my own career as a freelance writer because AI is replacing people like me, and there's no point in waiting around for the inevitable. Now I'm focused on learning how business people can leverage AI. I don't yet have a service to offer around this, but I'm happy to discuss the practical applications of AI anytime.

B2B Strategy Advisor and Consultant

I specialize in building and executing content marketing strategies for companies seeking sustained revenue growth. My process is to create a customized messaging framework (aka, “brand story”), develop a content strategy and calendar, and execute the content strategy by building a content team and/or writing brand content.

Fractional Content Director

I love to write and create content of all kinds. My broad and deep experience across sales, marketing, and customer success gives me a unique perspective and the ability to write compelling content for just about any industry. My approach is to get the inside truth from the people behind each story, and I don’t believe in taking shortcuts. I write and publish for your customers, to engage them, educate them, and compel them to take action. The SEO stuff comes along for the ride. Let’s talk about your freelance writing/content needs.

I retired in 2017 from a 40-year career, mostly in sales and marketing, for a variety of energy, manufacturing, and software companies. My penultimate position was co-owner of Kuno Creative, a digital marketing agency and one of HubSpot's first agency partners. My contributions continue as I seek to help other agency owners, professionals, and free-wheelers navigate their way through gnarly challenges in business and life.

Helping consulting firms grow past $30M | Relationship-Led Growth (RLG) | Proofpoint Marketing

I am a creative problem solver at heart, who happened to fall into marketing. 

My original plan was to be a graphic designer and creative director. However, after several internships, including one that exposed me to digital marketing back in 2005, I was hooked and never looked back.

At this point I have "been there, done that" with pretty much every marketing discipline and tactic under the sun. However, my strengths lie in tying marketing strategy to business strategy, customer research, and content strategy and distribution.

I am a combat sports enthusiast and have competed as an amateur. That experience has taught me to roll with the punches and operate well under pressure. So in the midst of a family crisis, I started a marketing agency.

In August 2015, my daughter was born at only 24 weeks gestation. Through a combination of scientific advancements and miracles, she survived and thrived. Her journey was long, and after our journey with her, I definitely felt like I had been in a grueling 12-round fight.

After switching jobs, seeing a startup lose funding and dealing with a variety of pediatric health issues, my wife and I started our agency Proofpoint Marketing, in June of 2017, with the intention of doing great work while providing ourselves, and anyone that would later work for us, a family-first work environment.

Since then, we have helped a number of consulting and advisory firm clients break through growth plateaus by helping them create organizational alignment and build a relationship-led growth system.

If you want to talk B2B marketing, combat sports, or football (the real kind - the kind that's actually played with feet and a round ball), let's connect!
