I believe marketing should do more than make noise. It should make it matter.
Whether it’s driving demand, building brand heat, or giving sales teams something real to run with, I’m here to make sure marketing actually moves the needle.
At CTI, I lead a team of people who give a damn about results and relationships. From Pro AV to broadcast, mission critical spaces, and beyond, we create campaigns that build trust and drive growth. No cold DMs. No gimmicks. Just work that works.
What drives me?
The endurance mindset. I’m an athlete, a coach, and someone who believes showing up when it’s hard is what makes it count.
Let’s build something that lasts.
If you care about people, growth, leadership, or building brands that actually work, I’m all ears.
