Laborer

I founded Black Label Advisor in 2020 after I sold my e-commerce business for $5 million. After I exited, I immediately felt the calling to start providing strategic consulting to brand owners looking to scale but not have to hire a full management agency. 

The response has been phenomenal.  I have consulted 100+ brands ranging from total beginners to 7+ figure legends like Caden Lane, Skin Grip, and Dr. Sebagh. My clients make up more than $100 million in Amazon revenue. 

I enjoy working with brand owners who have aggressive growth strategies and are willing to expand off of Amazon to diversify their revenue. Amazon is just the beginning!

My specialty is helping brand owners grow their online presence rapidly, increase profits, expand the revenue channels, and optimize for a lucrative 7+ figure exit.

My mission has remained the same: provide a high level of service for my clients from a place of experience and authenticity. Most gurus you'll run into have never sold on Amazon. Be careful out there!

If consulting isn't a need, I hope you find immense value from my daily social media posts and weekly newsletter!

Founder / CEO

The SmartHome Stores

Entrepreneurship isn't just something people are born with. Yes, there are certain traits one must have in order to succeed, but there are many personalities that can be successful. 

Learning to be an Entrepreneur is just that, I have had successes and I have had failures. But like I learned as a professional poker player, as long as you are learning from your mistakes and the graph is going north, you are winning.

With the skills learned over the past 13 years in sales and marketing, the goal now is to grow this brand. We have been working hard to put together branded products, a blog, and eCommerce to launch a new prerogative towards Parents with Children.

Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Verizon Wireless

Solutions Specialist

Western & Southern Financial Group

I am responsible for the selection, coaching, and mentoring of successful agents while they are building their business.  I strive to create an atmosphere of success in the Kalamazoo, Mi area by providing middle income American families and small business owners the Insurance help that they deserve. I do this by analyzing their needs and provide proper solutions that allow their family's income to continue, keep their family in the home, and provide final expenses.

During my tenure at Western and Southern Financial Group, I qualified for the 2009 Convention as a Sales Manager.

I was promoted directly to the Jackson, MI office where I added and trained 3 new sales agents in a short period of time. Shortly after I moved to the Kalamazoo, MI office and started a new staff, which now has 5 agents.

Hired and promoted 2 sales agents to management.

Sales Manager

Joey started out as your everyday Amazon seller. Going from store to store scanning items with the Amazon Seller's App and comparing prices online vs. in store. Whipping out his credit card wherever he went to build his base knowledge of selling on Amazon. With a transition into Wholesale and Private Label, he studied the industry hard. Working with mentors and top producers in the Private Label sector, he took his knowledge and quickly grew his own brands from $0 to over $8,000,000 of annual sales (and counting). 

Equipped with this knowledge, he now runs an Agency to help DTC Brands grow on Amazon. With the fluid landscape of Amazon, working with a trusted agency that continuously educates on these changes is a great chance for you to grow your brand!

Looking to network with likeminded individuals in any professional area.

About me: What an amazing adventure this life has been thus far! I am your ordinary father, entrepreneur, wanna-be comedic personality (just sayin'). I have 5 daughters and stay busy with all sorts of things outside of business. From Volleyball to talent shows, I'm everywhere!

I'm available to chat via messaging here, don't hesitate to reach out!
