Founder · Director of Marketing · Murrieta, California
“I build digital systems that help brands grow with clarity, structure, and measurable results.”
I started as an M1A1 Tank Systems Mechanic in the U.S. Army, where I learned methodical problem-solving and that details are never optional.
Since then I’ve run campaigns for global brands like Canon and Sony and helped build fintech platforms from the ground up. Through Squished Diorama Productions I bring those same tools and strategies to small businesses, so SEO, content, development, and conversion work as one system.
Today I’m studying for a B.S. in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance at Western Governors University. I see it as the same skill turned toward a different kind of adversary. I also sit on several AI committees and work daily with agentic AI.
Photography keeps me sharp: it’s the habit of spotting what others miss. I live in Southern California with my wife and daughter.
Available for strategic partnerships, consulting engagements, and executive marketing leadership roles.
