Marketer / 4 Under 40 / Midjourney Expert / Novel brand & creative direction for brands who want to leverage AI

I believe creativity is curiosity with something to prove.

I’ve spent the last decade scaling B2B SaaS brands, driving $130M in marketing-sourced revenue, and leading teams through multiple product launches, all while maintaining my sanity. Along the way, I picked up a peer-nominated American Marketing Association 4 Under 40 Award (2023).

As a first-mover with Gen AI, I broke out on my own midway through 2023 to provide novel creative and brand direction for teams that wanted to leverage AI in their visual storytelling. 

Since then, I’ve partnered with clients like Marriott, Brooklyn Nets, Rebel Kitchen, Klar, Buddy, and Indiewalls, while offering AI creative guidance and education to brands like Meta, TikTok, Ogilvy, McCann, Google, and VaynerMedia.

The journey has been incredibly rewarding. It also reminded me of something essential: the magic of working toward a shared vision with a great team. That’s what brought me to Goldcast.

Goldcast is empathetically changing how marketers connect with decision-makers by creating AI-first tools and workflows that solve actual challenges.

I co-host Midjourney Fast Hours, a podcast for creatives using Gen AI who are navigating this new frontier of visual storytelling.

My superpowers: creativity, curiosity, Gen AI, content, brand, design, innovation, growth mindset

The secret sauce in AI image prompting?

I’ll tell you.

While most people prompt AI like they’re using a vending machine, the best creators are composing and directing.

They're thinking like this: 
Layering = mood and dimension
Focus = emotional control
Texture = tangibility
Film = nostalgia and imperfection
(a)Symmetry = tension and balance

Lazy prompting kills creativity.

Let’s unpack 5 creative levers that inject emotion, tension, and depth into any AI visual.

👉 I broke down each one visually in this post. Steal it for yourself.

With the support and execution of the whole team at MHL, I grew the main B2B bulk ingredient sales channel to a peak of $5M/month.

In the first two years (2018, 2019) my team (Sales Team Six) generated over $25M+ in CBD Bulk Ingredient, Flower and Finished Goods Sales transactions by servicing small, medium and large Cannabis brands.

Our unexpected growth led to two rounds of funding combined to over $100M.

Baysound Recording

Dan Smith, what a legend. I worked for Dan at Baysound Recording Studios where we recorded,  mixed and mastered tons of different tracks from recitals to rap demos, you name it. 

Most memorable were the on-site recording sessions at the USF Tampa Campus including the opportunity to mic up and record the legendary Chick Corea. 

I started this apprenticeship when I was 20 years old and this was a huge experience for me, not only did I learn the technical side of my passion which at the time was mixing and scratching and honing-in my Dj skills but I met one of my best friends doing it, Jon Chetrit and together we created the DJ duo Brother Nature and for a while it felt like we ruled St Pete. 

Huge shout out to Dan Smith and Baysound
