Copywriter/Content Marketer

Lighthouse Labs

The job of a TA at a early-stage web development bootcamp was 3 main things:

1. Developing curriculum.
2. Helping students with their coding challenges.
3. Providing emotional support to extremely stressed students wondering if they've made a horrible decision dropping $10k on a career change.

I'm 34 years old. I've never had a full-time job.

Not once.

No, I did not grow up rich without needing to.

My dad passed when I was 13, my mom made $26,000 CAD, and he left her with an invalid life insurance policy. He had changed it to void unless he was 65 years old or older

He did that 2 days before local laws changed where your spouse needed to approve life insurance policy changes. 

He also left her with tons of debt on credit cards she didn't know about.

So she was forced to file for bankruptcy.

We were real poor.

I managed to go to university only because she moved to Vancouver with me.

And I paid for it by aggressively applying for scholarships. 75% of it was covered.

Yet, I've never used that degree.

Since then I've:

- Taught myself programming
- Worked as a freelance developer
- Worked as a freelance copywriter
- Lived out of a backpack for 3.5 years as a digital nomad
- Started two 7-figure revenue businesses in the marketing industry

At no point was I hungry, broke, or homeless.

People think that forging your own path is risky.

What I think is risky is taking out a mortgage based on a full-time job that can be taken away from you at any moment

As a freelancer, you have numerous income streams—losing one isn't existential.

As a business owner, your job can't be taken from you. You make more if you find a way to provide more value to people at scale.

This is why I've dedicated my life to helping people start, build, and grow companies. 

My ads agency, Bell Curve (www.bellcurve.com), helps startups grow through ads—the most scalable channel there is.

Demand Curve (www.demandcurve.com) teaches founders and marketers to grow their companies and passion projects. We were accepted into Y Combinator's summer of 2019 batch.

My goal is to make entrepreneurship easier and more approachable. Because we all benefit when we each build the future we want.

Forecastio

All sales and revenue leaders face the same challenge: consistently achieving their sales and revenue targets.
Market turbulence, changing customer preferences, fierce competition, and the inability to make informed decisions in a timely manner all lead to missing sales quotas.

We can’t change the market or customer behavior, but we can equip sales and revenue leaders with the tools necessary to enhance sales performance and hit their sales goals.

CRMs are good at process automation. However, they often lack critical functionality needed by sales and revenue leaders, such as advanced sales planning and forecasting, sales quota assessment, capacity planning, real-time AI-generated insights into sales performance, and more.

This is the main reason why our team created Forecastio - to help sales leaders make informed decisions, prevent revenue leakage, and lead their teams to great results.

Having worked with a range of tech products, I know how irritating long and heavy implementations are.

Therefore, while creating Forecastio, our main focus was to minimize the time our customers spend on implementation and enable them to get value from using the platform as soon as possible.

B2B Marketing Expert | Building my own SaaS startup from Zero to Market Leader. Sharing insights and actionable advice.

I transform startups into industry leaders through strategic marketing and brand development.

As Head of Marketing at Belkins, I built the brand from scratch and elevated it to become the #1 B2B Lead Generation agency in the US (Clutch-ranked), scaling revenue from $30K to $900K MRR while generating 250+ qualified meetings monthly.

I've successfully launched multiple ventures, including building the strategy, brand and marketing team for Folderly (SaaS), helping develop the business model for Wiseboard (advisory platform), and most recently, co-founding Forecastio, a sales performance management platform for HubSpot users that reached #3 Product Hunt's "Product of the Day" with zero marketing budget.

My approach combines data-driven strategy with creative execution to deliver measurable business impact. I specialize in:

- Brand development and positioning
- Growth marketing for B2B SaaS
- Content strategy that drives qualified leads
- Building high-performing marketing teams

I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can turn marketing challenges into growth opportunities. 

Let's connect if you're looking to scale your startup or need a strategic marketing advisor.
