Google+Meta Ads Expert | Top 1% Growth Marketer | DTC+Amazon growth advisor

I have experience growing multiple companies with Google and Meta Ads. 

I have a pretty diverse portfolio that includes: 

-Making brands millions of dollars with paid ads in niches including health & wellness, startups, law, ecommerce, home services and more.
-I have experience building paid media & content based funnels that have grown multiple companies.
-Scaling ad budgets profitably. Working on a wide range of projects ranging from funnel building to  managing ad budgets up to $1M/month.
-Helping multiple emerging brands/startups with over $200M in funding to build their growth engines. 

I’m always open to connect with people and explore opportunities. Most recently I've partnered with ad agencies as a white label paid media strategist - though I also work directly with brands.

If your Google Ads lead quality isn't great.  👇

And you’re spending $50K to $300K a month on Google Ads.

Here are 3 common reasons why.


1. Downstream tracking.
Your not tracking what jobs and revenue came from specific keywords and ads

2. Not pre qualifying the leads meticulously.
You can use a simple quiz funnel to pre qualify leads who are in market today not in 6 months. By asking them the correct questions.

3. Vendor asleep behind the wheel.
If simple best practices aren’t being hit then you may be overspending on leads.
Your landing pages may need to be optimized.

If 3 months have passed and you’ve not seen any quantifiable wins in lead volume or quality. 

It may be as simple as your vendor is not properly testing and troubleshooting things.


If your not impressed with your Google Ads lead gen results.
And looking for a second pair of eyes.

I offer both coaching and full ad funnel management services for brands sick and tired of dealing with junk leads and playing house.

“Our media buyers are great - but they’re junior.”
-Ad agency founder

I’ve worked in ad agencies most of my career.

And this shows up right before things start breaking.

Because “junior but hungry” sounds good on a hiring call.

They follow instructions and build campaigns like clockwork.

But being able to pivot when there are speedbumps?

It keeps you stuck in 60-hour weeks.

You don’t get leverage.

You get workhorses that need babysitting.

Which means you’re still:
-Answering nonstop Slack pings and client emails.
-Fixing dumb funnel mistakes that kill margin.
-Refunding ad spend because someone screwed up.
-Playing middleman between clients and buyers.

So instead of building the agency…
You’re babysitting it.

No time for real strategy.
No time to clean up systems.
No time to step back and actually think.

You don’t need a massive screw-up to lose clients.

All it takes is 1–2 bad strategic moments.
-Missed insight.
-Bad month.
-Imprecise strategy.

That’s it.

Many clients don’t complain.
They simply cancel.
And then they leave.

Up to 40% of agency clients are at risk of churning within 6 months — not because ads completely failed…
…but because there was no senior strategist guiding paid media.

If you’re running an agency doing $30K+ MRR
And you haven’t hired a Media Director yet…
That’s where I come in.

I offer fractional Paid Media Director services. You’ll get:
-Senior strategy.
-Cleaner execution.
-Fewer fires.
-Higher retention rates so you can hit your 2026 revenue goals.

Without you burning out trying to do everything yourself.

I’ve got 3 slots open.

Feel free to shoot me a DM.

P.P.S I also provide fractional paid media execution to a short list of partner ad agencies.

“We’re seeing an issue with lead quality. If things don’t turn around, we’ll have to cancel.”
 -Ad agency client

Every agency owner knows what follows.
-Silence.
-Pressure.
 -Churn risk.

Many agencies have clients who will churn in the next 3–6 months.

Not because you’re bad 
but because flatlining results and lead quality issues kill trust fast.

You sold world-class results.
Then the honeymoon ended.
Results plateau.
Expectations rise.
Patience disappears.

Fixing this isn’t just “tweaking ads.”
It’s diagnosing what’s breaking performance — under pressure.

If you’re dealing with:
-Clients questioning lead quality
-Inconsistent volume or revenue
-Surprise churn
-A team stuck in reactive mode

Here’s how I help 👇
I work with ad agencies to stabilize accounts, fix lead quality, and protect retainers.
 ✅ 12+ years managing and scaling Google & Meta Ads programs (lead gen + ecommerce).
 ✅ Diagonosing issues with lead quality.
 ✅ Profitably scaling ad budgets.
 ✅ Senior-level second set of eyes.

 I step in when things aren’t working - and get them back on track.

I’m offering ad account audits to:
-Identify why lead quality is slipping
-Surface quick wins in weeks, not months
-Create a clear plan to improve performance and retention
-If you want to reduce churn and keep clients confident

Feel free to shoot me a DM.

Residential roofers & contractors looking to book more jobs 👇

Here's what I see all the time:

-Your best salespeople sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.

-Chasing cold referrals that go nowhere.

-Following up on unqualified leads that waste hours of their time.

The problem isn't your sales team. It's that they don't have enough qualified opportunities to work with.

Your team should be closing deals, not hunting for their next conversation.

Here’s what we’ll build out:

✅A funnel that lets you book $10k+ jobs on autopilot.

✅ A qualification process that filters out tire-kickers for BANT (budget, authority, need and timing) before they hit your pipeline.

✅Get back $5-$10 for every dollar you put in.

✅ A system that generates $50-$60 sales calls with qualified leads that are in market today not in 6 months.

The result? Consistent lead flow. Higher close rates. More revenue.

If you're ready to keep your sales team's calendar full with qualified opportunities. 

DM me to set up a quick demo.

Financial advisors and estate planning lawyers looking to generate more qualified leads 👇

I've helped grow multiple companies and made brands make millions of dollars with paid ads+ growth funnels.

Most people don't understand how to build growth funnels that print money.

Instead growth is approached as a game of wack-a-mole. 

The main bottleneck for getting new customers on autopilot I see in 2026 is the ability to reliably generate the right volume and quality of leads for your sales team.

Often lead quality issues come down to sloppy marketing strategies.

Making this shift changes things from chasing and qualifying to simply inviting the right people into your orbit.

Automatically.

Here are 2 funnels I'd recommend you test in 2026:

-Quiz funnels - These allow you to generate high intent leads based on questions you ask. You can literally qualify any potential client based on BANT (budget, authority, need, timing). These quiz funnels qualify and then direct clients to the next logical step (book a call, etc..).
-Webinar or seminar event funnels: I've worked with estate planning lawyers and financial advisors who made $30K+ per event (and host multiple events per month). Just because they've got this down to a science.
-Both of these funnnels will invariably incorporate BANT principles.

Need help setting these up? Feel free to shoot me a DM.

"We're working with an ad agency but they aren't very proactive."
-Founder

This is one of the biggest growth traps in 2026 for brands looking to generate more qualified leads and pipeline.

Working with an ad agency that is misaligned or asleep behind the wheel.

You end up paying 2 preventable taxes:
-Opportunity cost: Every day that passes you are missing out on better results.
-Google+Meta overspend tax: You end up overpaying Zuck and Sundar on mixed quality leads.

If you are spending $100K/month on Google+Meta Ads for lead gen.

I am offering a coaching package where I will show you the exact step by step blueprint to:
-Increase lead quality fast and stop calling junk leads.
-Have a pathway to 2x ad budgets profitably.
-A game plan to offboard your current agency with no drama.
-How to audit your existing CRM setup to track lead quality down to the ad level.

Feel free to shoot me a DM.

Spending $400K/month on ads to build pipeline?

But you’re still seeing speed bumps and growing pains.
-Inconsistent lead quality.
-Lack of strategic direction to profitably scale
-ROI is stalling just as spend keeps climbing.

Managing Google+Meta Ads in 2026 can feel like a game of wack a mole.

Your current ad agency may be presenting you with long lists of action items.

But the needle still hasn’t moved and its been months. 

You may be asking yourself:

What are our top 2 actions with the most leverage to be able to scale 2x to 4x this year?

Right now I’m offering a 12 month growth roadmap to service brands spending $400K/month on ads but not quite getting the results they’ve expected.

And during this roadmap I’ll reveal:
	-Actionable short term wins to 4x lead quality overnight.
	-Short term wins to profitably scale ad budgets 2x.
	-A short list of success actions with 80% of the leverage.

"We spent thousands on ads but the leads were all junk.”
-Service brand founder.

I hear this every single week in almost every industry and niche.

But what if I told you the solution was right under everyone's nose.

And it involved the leads actively TELLING you they are qualified.

Thousands of service business owners are missing one of the biggest arbitrage opportunities in 2026.

And nah:
- It ain’t AI.
 -It ain’t new platforms.

It’s 8th-grade marketing.
Segmentation.

And when you actually apply it correctly?
Your leads will literally tell you they’re leads.

By simply executing these 4 pillars with precision, we’ll build you a profitable lead generation funnel in 60 days with ease:
•  Defining the criteria of Goldilocks leads (ideal lead)
 • Running quiz funnels using real market signals like BANT (budget, authority, need and timing)
 • Creating and refining offers built for cold traffic
 • Building compelling ads that attract the right buyers

The advantages are simple:
• You cut out 80% of troubleshooting by solving the lead quality part of the equation.
 (most problems come from poor lead qualification)
• Leads will actively tell you if they’re qualified automatically
• You can test and refine qualification criteria anytime
• You build a pipeline of qualified leads in weeks — not months

In other words — it gets to be easy.

If you're a service brand at $1M/year and you're looking to scale ad budgets 2x to 4x this year.

While finding a solid way to stabilize lead quality. Feel free to shoot me a DM and I'll walk you through a demo of my system.

"We spent thousands on ads but the leads were mixed quality and we couldn’t track revenue.”
-Service brand founder.

You’ve done what you were told to do.

You invested in ads. You showed up consistently. You trusted the process.

And yet — the lead quality feels unpredictable, and the revenue doesn’t clearly connect to the effort.

In 2026, that disconnect isn’t something you have to tolerate.

Especially not when the real issue isn’t traffic —
 it’s qualification.

What if the solution wasn’t more complexity…
 but more intention?
What if your leads could clearly signal — in their own words — whether they’re truly a fit?

Right now, many service business owners are overlooking one of the most elegant arbitrage opportunities available this year.
And no:
 • It’s not AI
 • It’s not a new platform
 • It’s not chasing the latest tactic

It’s foundational marketing.

Quiz funnels and identifying buyer signals upfront.
When applied with clarity and care, something shifts:
You stop convincing - and start being chosen.


The benefits are simple — and powerful:
• You eliminate up to 80% of downstream friction by solving lead quality upfront.
 • Prospects self-identify their readiness and buying timelines, without pressure or persuasion
 • You can refine and evolve qualification criteria as your business grows
 • You build a consistent pipeline of aligned, qualified leads in weeks not months.

This gets to feel lighter.
More strategic.
More intentional and sustainable.

If you’re a service brand doing $1M/year and preparing to scale ad spend 2x to 4x this is a foundation that allows growth to feel clean not chaotic.

Ad agency founders looking for talented paid media strategists/account managers 👇

How open are you to fractional support?

I work as a Fractional Paid Media Strategist / Account Manager for ad agencies in growth mode. 

Ways I typically help:
 – Google & Meta Ads management (lead gen + ecommerce).
 – Scaling ad spend profitably (worked on ad budgets ranging from $2k/mo to $1M+/mo).
 – Fixing lead quality or stalled performance
 – Auditing accounts and identifying quick wins
 – Coaching internal media buyers and teams

Right now, I’m having a few low-pressure coffee conversations with agency owners who are:
 -Hitting capacity and wanting to maximize client results
 -Questioning headcount timing
 -Wanting senior-level media thinking without the full time hire price tag

Short about me:

For 12+ years, I’ve helped scale Google & Meta Ads across lead gen and e-commerce, supporting brands in ecommerce, home services, and law. I've coached multiple successful teams and grown multiple companies making them millions of dollars.

I’ve worked with ad agencies most of my career. This includes ad agencies like Assembly, Mirus Digital, J-Stone Media, Node Media and Eight Digit Media. 

My zone of genius is scaling accounts quickly, efficiently and profitably by finding low hanging fruit.

If you’re an agency founder looking for senior paid media support and sick of working with flaky freelancers asleep behind the wheel. 

Feel free to DM me.

“The ads just need time to ramp up.”
 -Former agency

That’s what one of my clients was told.

Except…
 the ads never ramped up.

What did ramp up:
• Zero visibility into actual revenue
 •Reports obsessed with clicks and spend (not sales)
 • A growing distrust of Google as a customer acquisition channel

So they fired the agency.

We onboarded them.

Week one:
 ~$100 in spend → ~$3,000 in real sales
 From about 5 leads.

Now here’s the important part 👇

I’ve also worked on projects where it took months to get traction.

So what changed?

Three things made the difference:
1️⃣ Proven product–market fit
 -This wasn’t a speculative offer.
 -It was a mature service business going to market - not testing whether people wanted the thing.

2️⃣ Quiz funnels > “send everyone to a landing page”
 -Instead of buying volume and hoping sales sorts it out, we pre-qualified upfront.
-We hard-coded the definition of a high-probability buyer into the funnel.
-This filtered out tire kickers and created a strong and frictionless user experience based on a conversation not a pitch.

3️⃣ Speed + ownership of the system
We went to market in a matter of days not weeks or months.
• No waiting on designers to finish landing pages.
 • No internal bottlenecks

We owned the process.

And yes — Google Ads fundamentals still matter.

In 2026, it’s never been easier to miss them while chasing complexity.

The idea that lead generation has to be a slog is an outdated belief.

The platforms are smarter now. A mindset where everything must be “troubleshooting” can blind you to a simple truth:
👉 When the fundamentals are there, it gets to be easy.

And when you apply what’s actually working, you don’t need to “earn your stripes” through pain and wasted spend.

If you’re a $1M+/year service business dealing with:
• Inconsistent lead quality
 • High volume, low intent
 • Growing skepticism toward Google or Meta,

You should seriously look at quiz funnels and tighten qualification before the sale.

Not impressed with your Google Ads results?

There’s no worse feeling than working with a growth partner that isn’t aligned.

Or being burned by an ad agency or freelancer that is checked out and makes only a couple changes a week.

You end up overspending both on the partnership and overpaying Google for leads.

Up to 40% of brands will change agencies in the next 6 months usually due to a lack of "strategic acumen".

If you’re running Google Ads for lead gen these are the common issues I see:
-Flatlining ROI, progress and lead volume.
-Poor or mixed lead quality.
-Unclear strategies that feel more like guesswork than growth.
-Reactive vs. proactive approach.
-Empty promises things will improve soon - but they don’t.

I have a lot of experience with high ticket lead gen.  I’ve worked with niches including schools, home services, law and saas. 

I’m offering an ad account audit. For brands spending $50K-$500K/month on ads and ready to get to the next level of growth.

I will look at your ad account & funnels and share the exact bottlenecks you see to improve ROI and share a clear 3 month plan. 

I will share both long term strategies as well as low hanging fruit to improve results tomorrow.

If this sounds like something you or your team needs, drop me a message.

Thank you!

Brands spending $100K+/month on paid media and still stuck 👇

Growth is flat. Lead quality and volume are going sideways.

This is the question I hear most:
“What are the 3 things we need to fix in Q1 to actually see movement?”

In 2026, paid media has become needlessly complex.

Most of the content out there is surface-level — “best practices” that sound good on paper.

Helpful when you’re learning. Less helpful when a live account is bleeding cash and you’re stuck defending results.

I'm offering an audit where I look at your screen and tell you exactly what’s keeping you stuck - whether that is:
-Downstream tracking
-Account structure
-Landing pages
-How you’re (mis)using AI to manage campaigns

Being stuck isn’t about effort. It’s about diagnosis. Diagnosis can save months of trial and error.

Knowing what to look for is a skill. Most teams spend weeks testing ideas that feel productive - but will never move the needle.

 I can usually spot what’s holding an account back in one thirty minute call.

Who this is for:
-Brands stuck in a holding pattern with Google Ads or Meta Ads
-Brands considering a change in agency partners.
-Brands with an in-house paid media team but need an extra set of eyes.

About me:
-12+ years in paid media, helping grow multiple companies and spearhead successful growth programs.
-Took scrappy, unknown brand to category leader - including programs that 9×’d growth in DTC and earned recognition like the Deloitte Technology 500 2 years in a row.
-Experience across SaaS, ecommerce, health & wellness, home services, legal, and service brands managing ad budgets ranging from $2K/month to $1M/month.

I currently have space for 3 brands open to coaching or ad management - focused on scaling ad budgets profitably in Q1, fixing lead quality issues, and removing any obstacles holding back growth.

Feel free to shoot me a DM.
