It's hard to write your bio without making the whole thing a humblebrag, but I'll do my best. Most people wouldn't peg me for a marketing guy - probably because my 6'2" 225lb frame makes me look like a 3rd string defensive lineman. Fortunately, I'm a much better marketer than looks would tell. In the past 7 years, I've consulted, managed, and overseen hundreds of client accounts and millions of dollars in ad spend. More importantly, I've been able to pass my knowledge on to our team here at Linear, and at this point, many of them have surpassed me in both education and skill. As a team, they've continually improved Linear's service offerings, built world-class processes, and amassed dozens of client success stories.At Linear, we love to partner with companies that want to grow but lack the bandwidth or knowledge to do so.Wanna learn more about our services?
