Father.Builder.Marketer.Side Hustler.
Marketing leader. Entrepreneur. Father. Builder.
I've spent more than two decades building things — websites, businesses, marketing teams, side projects, campaigns, communities, ideas, and sometimes complete chaos.
By day I lead marketing and digital strategy. Outside of work I'm exploring the BC wilderness, camping, fishing, building companies, launching ideas, chasing side hustles, recording podcasts, helping businesses grow, and trying to become a better father than I was yesterday.
This isn't a polished personal brand website.
It's a snapshot of the things I'm building and the things that matter to me.
