01 About
A little about me.
Marketing experience. Curiosity about what’s next.
I’m a marketer, speaker, and founder of Amplify Digital Media (formerly Amplify Social Media). My background spans digital strategy, social media, nonprofits, small businesses, and technology startups.
I enjoy helping leaders understand what’s changing and decide what’s useful. I share practical ideas about marketing, AI, and digital tools, with a focus on how people can apply them in their everyday work.
Outside of work, my wife Katie and I call New York City home with our two daughters and our dog, Dolly. We enjoy exploring the city and the world together as a family.
