I help businesses, nonprofits, and schools save money on credit card processing without needing a finance degree to understand how.

Think of me as your friend who reads the fine print for fun and loves finding buried fees you didn’t even know existed. I take your current payment setup, dissect it (gently), and build a smarter, more efficient solution that actually makes sense which saves you real money.

Honest advice and lower fees.

Message me for a free quote. Worst case? We have a nice chat. Best case? You stop overpaying forever!

Building Top-Notch Websites and Providing Marketing & Branding Strategy to Empower Businesses Online

The only direction we want to go is forward.

As a business leader, I try to understand the value of looking ahead and embracing the future. And I believe in utilizing all available technological tools to anticipate trends and be an industry leader, instead of just a follower.

In my capacity as web development director, I utilize cutting edge websites and innovative marketing campaigns, to expand the reach of my clients’ businesses and enable them to achieve their revenue goals. I am happiest when my customers are truly satisfied with the end results.

I joined the web development world in the days of AOL, AltaVista, and dial up modems ☎ (back in the 90’s!), and have used each year since then to expand my repertoire of skills. I’ve researched the secrets of scoring high on Google, and applied these techniques when building and maintaining: 
✔ Informational,

✔ and Non-Profit Websites.
 
I use my wide-ranging knowledge to enable my clients’ websites to succeed.

Fast forward 20 years. In 2022, I founded a new company, Azurite Marketing Group, to provide full service branding, website production, and marketing. I capably guide my team of designers, developers, and marketing specialists to create a tailored plan for each client.

Together, we meet with clients to uncover their goals and explore all the facets of their business, and then build a web and marketing strategy that truly fills their needs. 

💬 Fun Fact: One of the very first sites that I created, Minerals.net attracts over 400K monthly visitors and 1.7M monthly pageviews. 

In addition to my endeavors in the web and marketing industry, I am actively involved in my community’s affairs. I adapt the same forward-thinking approach to help start and expand community organizations, such as youth programs, an elite search and rescue team, networking groups, and my hiking blog 🏔, harrimanhiker.com. 

I think big, and set ambitious goals, and I believe that has been the key to my success.

Heshy Friedman

As a marketing specialist, I want to highlight the importance of having a professional headshot.

Before someone reads your experience, visits your website, or schedules a call, they subconsciously form an opinion about how professional, trustworthy, and approachable you are.

Your headshot plays a major role in that first impression.

Whether it’s a potential client, partner, referral, or employer, people will judge you by a headshot.

So make sure to have one, and that it should be professional.

A strong headshot doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly formal. It just needs to be intentional.

A few simple tips to get it right:
👉 Stand tall—shoulders back, stomach in, head slightly forward to avoid a double chin
👉 Smile naturally and show teeth to appear approachable and confident
👉 Wear well-fitting clothing (avoid shirts that are buttoned too tight)
👉 Make sure your hair is neat and intentional
👉 Crop the photo properly so the focus is on your face, not your body

Look through your LinkedIn network and identify styles you’re drawn to (suit, business casual, relaxed) and choose the mood that fits your brand.

You may want to use different poses for different scenarios.

For example, this photo is great for my executive bio, as it's formal with a jacket and tie.

However, on my LinkedIn, I want a more casual tone without the tie.

Headshots are not just for LinkedIn. They should be used on your website and any other professional sales or marketing materials.

Shout out to Laibel Schwartz for an excellent job on this recent headshot.
