Marketing leadership you can hire by the project
I’ve spent 30 years running digital, from agency interactive departments to a VP seat to fractional CMO work. Now I work directly with a small number of clients on strategy, websites, SEO, and marketing systems. No account managers, no hand-offs.

Three Decades of Building Digital, From the Inside
I started building websites in 1994, back when that made you a novelty. By 1996, Bozell Worldwide, one of the largest ad agencies in the world at the time, brought me in to found the interactive department in their Omaha office. I built the team, and we put brands like MidAmerican Energy, GEHA, American Tools, and First National Bank on the web for the first time.
From there I built digital practices at two more agencies, including fourteen years at Corporate Three Design, where I ran digital as Director of Digital Marketing and finished as VP. I led campaigns that generated millions in client revenue, managed six-figure annual ad budgets, and ran HIPAA-sensitive digital ecosystems serving hundreds of thousands of monthly users. I also hired and mentored the developers, marketers, and content people who made all of it run.
In 2022 I went independent, because all those years of leadership taught me something. The work is best when the person setting the strategy is the same person executing it. When you work with me, you’re not buying a slice of an agency’s attention. You’re getting a senior marketing and technology leader, hands on keyboard, accountable for outcomes.
Most clients start with a single project. A website, an SEO engagement, a marketing plan. Some of those relationships grow into ongoing strategy work, and either way, the work starts where you need it most.
One thing worth knowing up front: I keep my roster small on purpose, usually 10 to 12 businesses at a time between retainer relationships and active projects. That’s the whole reason I can promise you’re getting me and not a team I’m supervising. It also means I’m not the right fit for everyone, and I’d rather tell you that on the first call than three months in.
