WELCOME TO MY PORTFOLIO
I’ve always been an inventor, builder, creator, designer and visionary by heart no matter the media.
Since my childhood when I destroyed and rebuilt electronics to defying my Dad’s orders to stay away from the table saw, I have always loved to tinker, fix and redesign in an effort to make things better. No matter the industry or position there’s always been a framework, system, product or process that needs an update or redesign to enhance the UX or ROI. Where many are content in the way things are, I tend to push the boundaries between need, want and dream.
In many ways I consider myself a future architect and find myself seeking solutions that fix todays problem and are built to adapt to distant needs. Below are a few areas I have and can put my skills and passions to practice. By all accounts this is a very very short list of products and projects I’ve improved. With a high level of creativity and a robust imagination, let me help you grow and achieve your dreams.
If you’ve run upon a roadblock, give a shout and I’m happy to explore strategies to quickly get unstuck.
COACH & CONSULT
Decades of of life and professional experience has led me to dive deep into the human condition and seek more truth behind our happiness and success.
With almost a decade of study on the subject I will share some of the most successful techniques spanning mental, physical, professional and personal realms.
Ultimately the process is to find your WHY?, create a plan and ACT with the aid of an accountability partner.

DESIGN & BUILD
- Designing a Hot Tub
- Replacing Rotten Decking
- Giving the Birds a Loft
- Adding a Cedar Outdoor Shower
These are just a few of the many home projects I’ve designed or taken on. Each brought challenge and foresight. Perhaps a near future will include a deeper integration into construction & architecture.
INVENTING = JOY
If I had a do over in life I’d like to have followed an engineering career path and become an inventor. I get lost in the design, UI, UX, functionality and process to create better things (or at least try something new).
In most cases I find something simple that ads value, other times it’s a more elaborate solutions. Whether a physical product or a process, the same creative mindset is needed to envision, design and implement something new.

OPERATIONS
The Greatest Art
Every item on this page takes a unique skill and once complete, becomes a building block to the greater Vision. This is where the craft of Operations brings it all together like a conductor to the Symphony.
Operations may be my greatest strength and my biggest joy. The ability to see all aspects of a business in 360 degrees and test the structure to build perfect harmony and efficiency is the difference between surviving and thriving.
Hard to put in pictures, Operations combines the vision of founders with carefully researched strategy to implement an ACTION that is designed to enhance all aspects of the business including ROI, communications, employee wellness, expansion, systems and more.
Often considered “Imagineers” some of the great Operators of all time are seen here.
MARKETING
I was raised in an advertising family and fondly remember joining my Dad to visit clients or attend trade shows. I was always proud of him and that pride turned to passion when I joined the Family business shortly after college.
At this point the web was growing exponentially as communications and digital technologies evolved. What was once a print and radio world forever changed to include hundreds of types of media and great brands had to adapt to include them all.
With recent experience in Digital Marketing, I’ve gained great knowledge of the networks, data and tools available to move a brand or product. This is another level of creative masterminding and I greatly enjoy the challenge.
I hope to continue this path helping private clients or as a dedicated employee. With AI evolving the ride will be wild and I look forward to it!

ORGANIZATION DONE RIGHT
Before anyone even heard of Marie Kondo I was one of the most organized people I knew. Whether my own belongings, helping another or working for an organization I believe that having a solid system in place exponentially increases productivity.
“For every minute spent organizing an hour is earned” Benjamin Franklin
DOCUMENTS AND MORE DOCUMENTS.
Born just before the digital revolution I learned the manual and transitioned to digital. Tech always intrigued me so I took to computers and typing quickly. As I entered into the marketing arena I can’t say I became a designer but a student of layout, impact and marketing psychology.
Through the years I’ve excelled at a fair share of document creation; from small college organizational pamphlet design, to in-depth business & marketing plans, Excel spreadsheets, non-profit proposals and fun event promotions. Each opportunity brings a new challenge and a chance to enhance the mission of those I work with.
Although most projects are now copyrited or proprietary to those I’ve worked with I’m happy to share some experiences and help you in any way I can.
