Bio in Bullets

With 12 years in PR, media, revenue, and marketing, and 3 in undergrad work, ​I've driven growth across media and small business. My focus? Sharp brand ​development, inventive campaigns, and strategies that chart a course for ​growth.


I'm a tale of tradition meets trailblazer. I grew up in Ohio’s Amish Country where ​people thrived in either growing or making of things. So maybe it's why I thrive ​on creating—be it a life-size game board, a soapbox derby racer, or with live ​edge slabs.


Home is now in mid-Ohio, with my wife and our two kids. It’s a place where ​tradition fuels innovation, where every project is a testament to daring and ​doing. Here, in the heart of it all, is where I build, grow, and dream. Welcome to ​my journey.

Brand Identity

In brand management, I aim for a ​balance of simplicity and distinction. ​To me, identity shapes brand values, ​personality, and positioning. In ​copywriting, it crafts messaging that ​resonates with target audiences. In ​logo creation and graphic design, it ​visually represents brand essence and ​values. Aligning these elements ​ensures consistent and compelling ​storytelling across all brand ​touchpoints for effective brand ​communication.

Product Literature

Simplify & succeed

In a crowded, more digital world ​crafting print literature for brands ​demands prioritizing clarity and ​distinction.


My style tends to be a bold, modern ​style. My background in ​photography and art emphasizes ​texture and large images.

creativity with velocity

A longtime business associate and acquaintance of mine ​needed help delivering a logo for their upcoming trade show. ​They had days, not weeks for a crucial opportunity.


I delivered a full brand with 4 logo styles for them within days. ​They were able to capitalize on their opportunity and meet the ​deadline with plenty of time.


Agile workflow principles along with actively listening help me ​deliver creativity with velocity. I view it as my job to hear and ​reverse engineer a client or teammates vision.

Website Mangement

My work as site manager ranges from mom and pop shop sites to architecting thousands of news pages ​within dozens of tabs across 5 websites under one umbrella. I don’t just understand how to organize ​information, but I understand how to create action, monetization and get the most out of any web system.

Complexity to simple

For a team of 4 Six Sigma logistics and warehousing ​entrepreneurs, getting their warehouse and services ​to market had been a bottlenecked nightmare. They ​knew their field extremely well. They needed ​someone to simplify and articulate it.


I was able to simplify the web for them and pick low ​hanging fruit for them. In one year, the partners ​accelerated growth and achieved a new company ​expansion they’d only dreamed of.

Stories & Content

Where I make the most impact is story ​selection and campaign focus. I find points ​of emphasis for brands and what has ​highest resonance with an audience.


There are millions of writers and artificial ​intelligence will spit out a very bland, safe ​box of web copy. However, brands ​separate when the story or campaigns ​emphasis is best.


My experience is news and advertising ​gave me insight into top performance ​categories across news. That helps design ​campaigns that don’t just speak to an ​individual, but can have scale across ​general audiences.
