I help founders and marketers use video and LinkedIn to build real trust and generate real revenue.

My path here wasn’t straight. I started in the service industry, earned a marketing degree at Marist, and found a passion for video production. When COVID accelerated my journey into business marketing, I saw a clear pattern: many professionals shine in person but struggle to translate that same presence online.

That’s where I come in. I work with people who are already great face to face, helping them show up with that same confidence and clarity on LinkedIn.

The results speak for themselves:
	• 3,600% increase in reach in the first month
	• 500% more exposure after a single post
	• Five-figure opportunities directly from video content

Why it works: I bring 5+ years of business development success and 10+ years of video experience. I’ve built a tested process that combines story-driven video with smart outreach, focused on trust not gimmicks, because sales follow relationships.

I run two main programs: 

One designed for founders and business developers who want a LinkedIn presence that consistently builds trust and generates opportunities. 

The other supports marketers and their teams who need expert video content to scale brand visibility, showcase results, and equip their executives to show up with confidence.

I work with founders, marketers, and small teams who want to:
	•	Build an online presence that reflects their real reputation
	•	Grow visibility and close opportunities through content
	•	Create a long-term system that supports their network

So they can stop relying only on word of mouth and finally turn content into pipeline, partnerships, and growth.

If this sounds like what you need, let’s connect.

Can't wait to beat your butt bowling at The Funplex East Hanover on Thursday! Love the opportunity to sponsor and support one of my Morris County Chamber of Commerce ambassadees at their Network After Work event.

I believe there's so more space so make sure you sign up on the event calendar!

Shoutout to the awesome Kegina Graham, my fellow sponsor Matthew Daly, and of course Kevin Murphy.

4 shovel sessions and 9 hike ups later... I'm a little sore.
Hanging in the edit suite today to rest up 🥱

Tech, cameras, and music are a huge love of mine, so this photo is like a kid in a candy shop. 

Did you know I was interim tech director at a local church for a short time during COVID?

Live AV isn’t my world, so it wasn’t a perfect fit (hence my self-titled interim position) but with experience managing the cameras and the live stream it was a cool experience to stretch. Luckily nothing serious broke in my time there - I'm not a pro on a mixing board or lighting controller.

Now I still get to direct the cameras (sometimes shooting in special events) and manage the tech 1-2x/mo for video capture services.

And I got to bring in some buddies to really make it sparkle on Christmas!

Want to know the inspiration behind my wacky posts?
It's a secret I never thought I'd share...

Manic episodes in the early morning.

Not sure if it's creativity or something more diagnosable, but I've continually refrained from filtering what I feel like sharing on here.

Maybe you all are just more sane than myself - but if you do happen to feel like getting a little freaky on the web... (no, don't slide into my DMs like that)

DO IT!

Weird stands out. Bold stands out. And I'm too short to stand out in person so take it from me - it's worth participating.

You don't have to be any good at it, especially at first. I mean, look at me.

Now look in the mirror.

You have a booger in your nose.

Go get 'em. 

If you're never showing up, you're never seen.

If you got this far, make sure to let your friends with "Marketing" in their title know I'm available to bring their creative marketing ideas to life with my outstanding video team.

And if you want a consistent and credible presence that extends past your abilities in-person, our Handshake program has launched so well. The base layer of content and outreach has allowed my clients to focus on the real opportunities that LinkedIn has while building their presence.

Hope your day is exceptional!

Quick trip to Florida recently to capture for my mother-in-laws restaurant! Permit challenges meant photos only, just wait until they open in the next few weeks 🔥 

Yes, I did get to eat all this after. Shoutout Leo Justiniano for teaming up on this shoot!

"That's a great question!" is my biggest compliment, and honestly I hear it a lot. 
Does that sound like a flex to you?

For me, it's a funny one. It's not a skillset that is really measurable, but something felt by my clients when they feel interesting or understood.

Being understood makes someone feel really good, and sharing that golden moment when someone is ecstatic about a question makes for much more impactful content than any script.

And it makes me think - how did I get good at that anyhow?
Probably from the now hundred + interview scenarios I've directed.

I haven't really thought about just how many questions I've asked, but after 5 years of spending time on site with clients it's definitely something I've done more than most other things now.

Funny how this skillset is best when there is a camera involved, I find I still struggle to consistently pull strong questions when I'm at a networking event. Maybe pointing the camera at someone else gives me a space to think without much pressure. 

I've learned asking really good questions is a fun skillset, and one we can work on to make others feel interesting and well understood. A great way to show love for others, and they won't hate you for it either.

Happy Thursday, friends!

3,934% growth in just 6 months!

I always liked math more than art classes, and graphs are the perfect mix of visual and factual that can just tickle me. And these graphs tickle me.

This kind of curve doesn’t come from hoping or guessing, it comes from doing the right few things over and over until momentum and opportunities arise. 

Consistency isn’t flashy - there's no giant spikes of virality in here. Just someone doing what they do in person, consistently, on this free networking resource we are gifted to have.

If you're looking to make an impact online it doesn't have to be too hard. If you want access to a recent presentation I shared on LinkedIn at the chamber shoot me a DM and I can email you the files. 👍 

Oh P.S. this client does not participate in our outbound program, so these are all personal relationships going deeper. If they were doing outbound these numbers would be WAY different (and mean different things to our strategies)

Marketing team: We need good content to show we do things!
Content person (me): Cool, that's my job. Here's good content!
Marketing team: Immediately updates website ->

PSA: InMail is a stupid, flaming red flag. Not worth the $ and there's much better ways to do targeted outreach.
I do like a good meme opportunity though

Kenneth, I bet your nice and I'm sorry to make an example of you. This was more palatable than 90% of InMail but I love the Whitest Kids U' Know too much to miss sharing this GIF.

and I can show you how to do it a little better if you slide in my DMs for real.

Back to channeling my inner Emily Iaquinta against these InMails

Do I know any HR professionals willing to volunteer consulting time with a nonprofit? A christian nonprofit I know needs help figuring out where to start with HR before making any larger commitments. Would love to connect!

If you thought of someone please share!

LinkedIn is acting funky today with delays in posting! If you had a scheduled post it likely didn't get launched until way late (if at all). 
Keep an eye out on your content until this clears!

Helping Founders Scale, Prepare, and Exit | Value & Profit Growth | Live Streaming Business Development | Buying & Selling Businesses | Chief Exit Officer | LinkedIn Live Stream Host

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

You’ve built something great. Let’s make sure it works for you.
