About

With over 30 years in marketing, I've done a bit of everything.
  • I've started and ran several of my own businesses and partnered with others.
  • Worked in the private section doing marketing and business development.
  • Coached small business owners.
  • My most recent adventure has involved helping a mid-sized non-profit organization create its voice, identity and build its audience.

What really sets me apart is my practical experience and knack for coming up with clever ideas that get real results.

Whether it's working with you to:

  • craft a campaign,
  • manage your social media, or
  • helping with business development,

I've built a reputation for being someone who's 100% fully invested in helping the businesses or organizations I work with and getting it done.

Small Business & Non-proft Organizations

But you know what really gets me excited? Helping out small business owners like yourself. I've got a soft spot for small business owners. I've been in your shoes—I know what it's like to start from scratch and build something from the ground up. It takes guts to take a chance on a dream and I respect anyone who does it because it is not easy. Don’t you just love it when people tell you “it must be so fun to run your own business!”.

I have also seen how non profit organizations can have a huge impact with the limited funds they are given. These are the kinds of businesses and organizations I want to work with — owner-operaters, blue collar businesses, small unique artists…the small businesses and non profit organizations that are the backbone of our communities.

Available For What You Need & When You Need It

Marketing, social media, communications—we know it is important but it can be overwhelming, especially when you're wearing so many hats as a small business owner or small organization with limited staff.  That's why I'm here.

I get it...

Not everyone has the resources to hire full time marketing or business development staff.  That is why:

  1. I offer my services on an as-needed basis and
  2. I work within your budget, big or small
