In 1995, as a college student, I founded TrendyMinds, now a leading digital marketing agency focused on delivering innovative strategies that improve lives. My early work with professional race car driver Tony Stewart and Joe Gibbs Racing provided invaluable experience in web development, e-commerce, audience engagement, and digital marketing—laying the foundation for TrendyMinds' growth.Over the years, we've built enduring partnerships with clients like Indiana University Health, Salesforce, Eli Lilly, Cummins, Roche, Slack, and CommonSpirit Health, earning industry awards and multiple Inc. 5000 listings. Our growth was further accelerated with a capital investment from Contour Ridge in 2022 and funding from Genesis Park in 2023, supporting acquisitions of Statwax and Faktory to expand our capabilities in performance marketing, media, and PR.Today, in addition to being the Founder and Chairman of TrendyMinds, I am also actively involved in investing and entrepreneurship. I've invested in multiple startups and funds, including Florida Funders' Fund 3 and GroundGame Ventures. Beyond TrendyMinds, I am involved in commercial real estate ventures in Indiana and Florida, where I am currently co-leading a high-end residential townhome development in downtown St Petersburg.My partner and I live in Florida, where I balance professional pursuits with personal passions like cooking, music, travel, arts events, and spending time out on the water surrounding Tampa Bay. Whether through TrendyMinds, real estate, or my investments, I’m dedicated to creating meaningful impact and fostering growth.
