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?

In 2012, just 2 years out of College, I started my own social media marketing business, working primarily with small business owners from my hometown of Randolph Vermont. Shortly after diving into social media marketing, I realized the need small businesses had for consistent branding, and cohesive online experiences; from online search, to social media, and finally a well designed website focused on user experience and converting visitors into paying customers. After realizing this need I began adding services over the years, starting with brand development, then web design, and coming full circle to search engine optimization and finally digital marketing. The skills I have developed come from over 10 years of trial and error, countless hours of personal research, and my experiences working on over 40 projects with businesses in every industry.
