As the grandson of a sustenance farmer and son of a journeyman lineman who rose up the ranks to lead operations for his company, I had instilled in me from a young age the firm belief that if I want it and work hard for it, I can achieve it. I lived this playing hockey throughout my youth, and as the first in my family to attend university, where I gained a better understanding of my identity, strengths, and weaknesses, and formed a reliable strategy for navigating unfamiliar environments. Professionally I thrive in environments where I’m constantly growing and where there’s pressure to deliver results, be they winning new business, generating leads and revenue, expanding business units, turning around teams, or improving profitability.I learned from my father that while hard work won’t solve every challenge, most challenges won’t be solved without hard work, and that we’re not defined by our successes and failures but by how we respond to them. I learned from playing hockey that if you want to go somewhere fast go by yourself. If you want to go somewhere far, go with a group. And a key lesson fine-tuned through the years is that I’m rarely the smartest person in the room, nor do I need to be, but if I surround myself with people smarter than me, we’ll all succeed.Today as a revenue and EBITDA driven business leader I apply those insights to empower companies, brands, and teams to achieve exponential growth in B2B and B2C market sectors. I’m an adaptive influence with marketing chops, operational proficiency, and executive acumen, skilled in demystifying the complex, building consensus, nurturing talent, and elevating organizational capability. Some key performance highlights include....• Re-energized, re-vitalized and re-focused long standing cross-company team at Clutch Studios, engaging members in a new path forward and creating excitement for the future.• Built high-tech/B2B practice at Grey Direct. Built Fathom Chicago from struggling satellite office to agency powerhouse. • Redefined Clutch’s target market, refocused go-to-market strategy, repositioned services, revised business model and leveraged core strengths.• Lowered overhead at JC Licht while refining operational structure and clarifying roles and business objectives.• Devised numerous marketing “firsts” for International Trucks, Renaissance Cruises, LG, Xerox, and Harley Davidson, among others.

Listed skills include Marketing Strategy, Strategy, Strategic Planning, B2B, and 39 others.
