Director of Growth

I've been buying and overseeing ads on Facebook since 2008. I have personally implemented, optimized, and managed monthly spends in the range of $1-5 million and cumulatively I have managed and overseen more than $600 million on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn for brands like AT&T, Toyota, Microsoft, Kraft, LG, Spotify, Hyatt, and many more. I'm comfortable with all objectives and buying types on these platforms, with expertise in branding as well as direct response.

In the last few years, I've been focused on helping grow DTC/startup brands like Hubble, Keeps, Nuts.com, Urbanstems, MoneyLion, Lumin, Cerebral, Wandering Bear Coffee, Flock Chicken Chips, Mirror, Athletic Greens, Spartan, and more.

In early 2020, I helped launch Lone River Ranch Water, and we were acquired by Diageo in 2021.

All three companies I worked for in 2021 were acquired: Lone River, Thesis, and Jump450.

Nano Banana Pro can edit them with ease can be used to deceive.

Growing businesses with ugly ads, streamlined execution, and deep consumer empathy.

There's never been a worse time to say “that’s not my job” or “we’ve always done things this way.”

There's never been a better time to be a scrappy problem solver.

AI is multiplying the impact of people who take ownership, experiment quickly, build systems, and stay curious.

The people rising are the ones who run toward problems, learn without ego, and use AI to amplify their output and their team’s.

The people falling are the ones clinging to job descriptions, perfectionism, old hierarchy, memorized expertise, or protecting their ego.

The winners are scrappy problem solvers.

The losers are anyone still waiting to be told what to do.

I help healthcare providers stop revenue leaks by turning denied claims into paid claims. With a strong focus on medical billing, coding, and insurance navigation, I simplify the process so doctors can focus on what they do best — treating patients.

My journey into healthcare administration is driven by a mission: to make billing transparent, efficient, and profitable for practices of all sizes.

Currently, I’m sharing insights, breakdowns, and advanced strategies on LinkedIn to help practices understand how insurance companies really work — and how to win.

Areas I focus on:

Medical Billing & Coding
Prior Authorization & Credentialing
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
Insurance Denials & Appeals

---Let’s connect if you’re a:

Healthcare provider tired of revenue leaks
Billing company looking to collaborate
Recruiter seeking skilled billing talent
