Since beginning my career as a freelance digital marketer in 2014, I’ve generated high-quality leads and (exponentially) boosted sales for Tampa Bay small businesses across various industries — including a niche restaurant, aftermarket auto shop, and a national leading construction materials wholesaler.I’ve been truly blessed to have partnered with some really great people while expanding my skill set to become a "full stack digital marketer" along the way.At the end of 2023, after 7 & 1/2 successful years as Director of Marketing & eCommerce Strategy for a leading national flooring wholesaler who saw annual sales explode from $12M (2015) to $45M (2023), I was eager for a new challenge. Recognizing a growing trend among small business owners who were frustrated by the lack of relatability from their "big marketing agency" providers, I was convinced that I could make a difference for this market niche. With a decade's worth of experience helping small businesses in Tampa Bay, FL navigate the very "real world" problems of tight budgets, time crunches, keeping up with trends, trust issues, and trouble measuring results, I launched Thunderstrike Marketing. To maximize my clients' resources and achieve their goals, I deploy a unique mix of creativity, resourcefulness, a digital savvy skill set, and a strong, “blue collar” work ethic.But marketing isn’t my only forte. My background as a championship-winning baseball coach at the high school and collegiate levels brings extra value. With a fiercely competitive drive, "can do" attitude, and proven leadership skills, I’ve helped small businesses break through to new levels of profitability.Off the clock? I’m a widowmaker heart attack survivor (glory to God!) and mental health advocate who enjoys poolside grilling with my family, exploring Philippe Park with our rescue pups Rey & Leia (#dogsofinstagram), running, and fanatically cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena. #GoBolts
