Throughout the past ten years, I've played pivotal roles in technology and marketing, holding senior positions at a major insurance marketing firm that boasts nine-figure revenues. After gaining valuable corporate experience, I ventured into founding my own agency, which allowed me to delve into entrepreneurship. My work at the agency has spanned a variety of projects, collaborating with businesses of all sizes—from small orthodontic labs to advising vice presidents at colleges on enrollment strategies, as well as providing direct consultation to C-suite executives at billion-dollar companies like Build.com and global enterprises such as Open English.
I have a natural inclination towards technology and innovation. I was at the forefront of adopting augmented reality, creating one of the first restaurant menus and magazine ads featuring this emerging tech. My curiosity led me to experiment with Arduino boards and near-field communication chips as early as 2015, technologies that, eight years on, are still not widely employed.
In 2018, I started exploring the potential of artificial intelligence.
My entrepreneurial journey has been marked by diverse achievements, such as propelling SuboxoneDoctor.com to the number two position in the medically assisted treatment industry within the competitive $49 billion addiction treatment market. Furthermore, I have leveraged data aggregation to enhance supply chain efficiency and profitability for car dealerships through Autodealers.ai. I have also been instrumental in introducing synthetic video and written content to niche markets via Arclight Content. I'm in the midst of launching a tool dedicated to helping lawyers streamlined document review and summarization tasks.
I am most passionate about the early stages of business development—where innovation meets creativity. There is nothing more exhilarating for me than watching an idea take root and gain momentum.
I am eager to infuse a culture of innovation and a curiosity for emerging technologies within business environments. I firmly believe that amidst the myriad of options, the advent of cutting-edge methodologies and technologies opens brief, yet impactful opportunities. These moments are ripe for the taking by those bold enough to embrace them ahead of the curve.
