Where Marketing Strategy Meets Technical Expertise
I’m not your typical digital marketer. With over 25 years in the digital landscape, I’ve lived through the evolution of the internet from basic HTML to today’s AI-powered solutions. This journey has given me a unique advantage: I understand both the marketing and technical sides of digital business.
My Approach
I believe effective digital marketing isn’t about chasing the latest trends—it’s about applying proven principles to new technologies. While others might get distracted by the next shiny object, I focus on strategies that deliver measurable results.
What sets my work apart:
- Strategic thinking with technical depth: I can build the website and create the marketing plan that drives traffic to it
- Data-driven decision making: No guesswork—just clear analytics that show what’s working
- Bridge builder: I translate complex technical concepts for executives and marketing teams
- Practical solutions: I focus on implementations that drive revenue, not vanity metrics
My Journey
My digital marketing career began in 1995 with freelance web development during the early days of the internet. In fall 1996, I joined the Omaha office of Bozell (then the 13th largest ad agency worldwide), where I built their interactive department from the ground up. I’ve since led digital teams at agencies like Turnpost and Corporate Three Design, managing projects for clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to local startups.
Along the way, I’ve:
- Transformed marketing campaigns that generated millions in revenue
- Built high-traffic websites serving 300,000+ monthly visitors
- Managed monthly ad budgets exceeding $25,000
- Developed custom technical solutions that cut costs by 40%+
- Implemented enterprise-level hosting solutions with five-nines reliability
In 2015, I launched LargeMountain (largemountain.com), a boutique, managed-WordPress hosting service that combines my technical expertise with my understanding of what marketing-focused websites need to perform at their best.
Why Work With Me?
Unlike larger agencies where your project might be handed to junior staff, you work directly with me. This means you get senior expertise without the agency markup, and a partner who understands both the business challenges and technical solutions.
I excel at:
- Untangling complex marketing technology stacks
- Creating streamlined lead generation systems
- Solving the disconnect between marketing and IT teams
- Building measurement frameworks that show real ROI
- Implementing practical AI solutions that save time and money
Beyond Work
When I’m not helping clients grow their businesses, you’ll find me enjoying life outdoors—whether that’s improving my golf game, camping under the stars, or exploring hiking trails. I have a passion for travel and discovering new places, which often provides fresh perspectives I bring back to my work.
I live in Omaha, Nebraska with my wife, and I’m the proud parent of two adult children. This balance of family life and professional experience gives me a grounded approach to helping businesses grow sustainably.
I work with clients nationwide, bringing a Midwestern work ethic to every project.
