CEO & Co-Founder

Building the biggest backyard sport to ever exist.

We thought getting into Walmart would change everything.

It almost broke us.

We had just hit our first big wave with CROSSNET…  sales were up, retailers were calling, and Walmart said yes.

Dream come true, right? Not exactly.

They put our $150 game next to $5 footballs.

We barely moved any units.

Everything got marked down and we took the hit.

That one decision set us back a year.

Everyone talks about “getting into retail,” but here’s the truth: It’s not about getting in. It’s about staying in.

Start small. Test one store, one region, one chain.

Learn what sells, how it’s merchandised, and what content actually drives people to go in-store. Then scale.

I get a lot of DMs from founders who want to go big in retail fast.

If you want help landing stores and keeping them, I’m offering 20% off 1:1 advisor sessions on Intro until December 15.

Comment “Interested Intro” and the team will DM you a private code to book.

My new company is having more knockoffs on Amazon appear faster than CROSSNET ever did. 

When will Amazon stop allowing Chinese ripoffs with their AI images to take marketshare for half the price?

I lead a boutique marketing agency for websites and video and step in as a fractional marketing leader when teams need senior execution—not theory.

Recent highlights: launched new websites that lifted organic traffic within 60 days, paired with consent‑first analytics (GA4/GTM server‑side + CMP) so sales actually sees who’s engaging. I’ve driven multi‑channel demand gen across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta, turning content and video into qualified pipeline—not just impressions.

What I’m good at
Websites: Webflow & WordPress/Elementor, CRO, landing pages, site speed, SEO foundations.
Video: short‑form customer stories, ads, UGC‑style assets to warm retargeting and sales enablement.
Performance: SEO/SEM/PPC, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, UTM governance, GA4, GTM (server‑side), Looker Studio reporting.
Ops: attribution, lead scoring, HubSpot/Klaviyo automations, clean dashboards sales actually uses.
Privacy: GDPR/CCPA‑aligned consent (Axeptio CMP) without killing conversion.

Signature wins

Rebuilt a B2B site + content engine → organic traffic up in 2 months, better account visibility for sales.

Grew agency revenue triple‑digit YoY while delivering enterprise‑level reporting for SMB–mid‑market brands.

Produced 100s of brand assets; 10k+ followers and content viewed by large audiences.

Core competencies: Webflow websites, WordPress/Elementor, video production, SEO/SEM, PPC (Google/LinkedIn/Meta), CRO, A/B testing, UTM/attribution, GA4, GTM (server‑side), Looker Studio, ABM, marketing automation (HubSpot/Klaviyo), CMP/consent management (Axeptio), sales enablement, stakeholder alignment, vendor management.

And 100's of DTC brands for content and ad creation.

I’ve been seeing a wave of videographer job posts lately—and too many of them are packed with 🚩🚩🚩

A few common red flags:

🚩 “We need one video, but also 10 reels, drone footage, editing, motion graphics, and voiceovers.”
That’s not a solo project—that’s an entire media team. Be real about the scope (and budget).

🚩 Budget: $500–$5,000
This tells me you either don’t know what you need, or you’re hoping to get champagne on a beer budget. A single well-produced brand video alone can run $5K+.

🚩 “Looking for someone who can shoot, edit, and post all content weekly”
Cool, but are you supplying a brief? A shot list? Feedback loop? Or just expecting someone to magically “go viral”?

If you're hiring a videographer, clarity and respect for the craft go a long way. 

Good creative starts with a solid partnership—not vague expectations and an impossible to-do list.

🎥 Pro tip: If you want strategy and execution, that’s usually two roles (or a team).

Boutique Marketing Leader | Websites • Video • Performance | 11k+ network | Content and consent-first analytics for B2B Data Centers, Smart Lighting and Spaces, Manufactures, SaaS and DTC brands.

This year has been one of our most successful since getting married. 

A new baby girl, agency growth, and lots of time with our family. To say it's been a year of blessing would be an understatement. 

But one thing I am most proud of is Jasmine Wisz raising our five month old and publishing her first children's book, Hop Like a Bunny. 

She wrote and illustrated herself and its dedicated to our first born. 

With so much happening in the world taking a moment to page through a warm message like HLAB has to offer is special. 

So, now the ask. If you are looking to support an artist during your shopping this year please consider adding HLAB to your list and leave a review: https://amzn.to/47P5VBj

Jasmine told no one she was going to launch and the outpouring of support is incredible—but she married a marketer and I'll totally "ask" for support this holiday season. 

To those building—keep going. Jasmine has been working on this book for years BTS. Sometimes sitting on something to think through is the right choice when the world pushes instant.

🚀 New video feature from Axeptio!

We’ve just launched a new way to bring privacy and transparency to life — through video. 🎥

This update lets brands use short, friendly videos in the same website real estate as the data practices and cookie policies—right inside the consent experience. It’s clear, human, and way more engaging than a block of legal text.

Because let’s be real—privacy doesn’t have to be boring. When users understand why you’re asking for consent, they’re far more likely to trust your brand and click “accept.”

Transparency → Trust → Conversion.

Excited to see how teams will use this to make compliance feel… actually cool. 😎

#axeptio #dataprivacy #consent #uxdesign #webflow #marketing #gdpr

By placing storytelling at the core of consent, Axeptio breaks away from “consent fatigue” and reimagines compliance as a new growth lever. 

What was once a regulatory obligation now becomes a stage: a new communication channel where brands can engage audiences, build trust, and convert attention into performance.

Getting prepped for #BFCM this week? Already running a campaign like many? 

Now is the time to ramp up data capture but first make sure you have compliance and privacy regulations covered using that customer data... 

I recommend Axeptio to all my clients and have been an advocate for the last two years for e-commerce brands to adopt a better way to capture data without the legal hassle and while respecting clients consent. 

Link in comments:

I put a ton of energy into planning, picking gear, and traveling to capture content for my clients. Most trips these days, it’s just me—solo.

On social, it probably looks glamorous… and honestly, parts of it are. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to learn how to protect my time. Balancing seeing new places, trying new things, staying locked in for shoots, interviews, and still running my agency with a lean crew—it’s a lot, but it’s the dream.

No complaints. This is everything I prayed for years ago.

This morning I was up early grabbing sunrise footage in Portland. The city gives me a bit of Grand Rapids energy—just with a totally different landscape.

While I was flying the drone, a garbage truck driver watched me for a few minutes. When I finally looked over, he laughed and said, “Man, I thought you were tripping out staring straight up like that.” I joked back, “Thank you, Jesus,” and we ended up chatting.

He walked over while waiting for another truck to arrive, so I showed him the screen—300+ feet of the Portland skyline. We both stood there taking it in. I asked if the sunrises always looked like this. He smiled and said, “Honestly… they get even better.”

That stuck with me. The pride he had in his city, the warmth in his voice. Not too many generations back, we had a garbage truck driver in my family—so it hit home.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be “rich.” The world chases money, status, things… but the real wealth is character, family, experiences, and how we honor God through it all.

Hope this lands with someone this morning. Have a great day fam. ✌️

In 2025 I planned on doing fractional marketing for brands or SaaS companies. And we have done that.

But what has propelled our growth is our knack for getting things done with websites and videos. 

I've personally launched several websites and visited places all over the US and one international to create video content. 

No big budgets, no big crew, and no fluff.

The results are my clients are getting 50x the content without the massive price tag. 

Is it still an investment?  Yes. A partnership, 100% we need client review and feedback to get things dialed in. 

And we can't wait to build on this in 2026. 

Video was a passion that turned into a line item. Now that is cool.

Life is all about collaboration—that is fuel for us at Chasing Creative. Here is a little behind the scenes of our rooftop bar scene we staged at @sipontheroof for an upcoming video produced by Grey Matter Group. Thanks to SIP Cocktail Bar, Manifest Distilling, DuBlasé Whiskey, our models and crew for bringing great energy and passion to this project. 

Stay tuned to see how Grey Matter Group uses our secret (for now) drone shots for their latest project!

I've been running and gunning this week. Time for some RnR in Willamette Valley for a couple days.

Transparency and trust are at the core of what we do at Chasing Creative. 🌟 Every pitch is unique, tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. 

We pride ourselves on providing clear timelines and honest numbers, ensuring sustainable growth for both our agency and our clients. Recently, a major brand thanked us for our transparency, highlighting the importance of building genuine relationships over quick profits. 

Let's continue to redefine what it means to be a marketing agency, Chasing Creative. 

#Transparency #SustainableGrowth #ChasingCreative

Let’s get creative—but that also means keeping things simple. A clear message travels farther. Most marketing is repeating the same offer and the same promise again and again. The style can shift and the format can change, but the core value should always be unmistakable. 

Follow Chasing Creative for more insights like this.

I've been working with and installing Axeptio's privacy compliance tool on my clients websites over the last two years. It's easy to install, has loads of built in options and stylization, and most of all its compliant in the regions that matter most. #cookie #privacy #consent

If you create content you are used to people taring a page from your strategy—this means you are doing it right. 

But you have to continue to create new ways to engage as old methods will be repeated and overdone. 

Finding new ways to engage with your current audience and network is key to business growth today. 

In 2026 you will see more transparency on LinkedIn—still professional in tone but drawing back the curtain a bit more. 

Just wait.

Momentum beats motivation. 🚀 

In my work with various clients, I've seen how overwhelming tasks and approval processes can dampen motivation. 

But when you build momentum through consistency, you achieve small wins and collaborate more effectively. 

Set a roadmap for your business, and watch motivation follow. #Momentum #BusinessGrowth #Leadership

Life feels different lately.
Less stress. More momentum. I’m genuinely excited about the work again. 

Some clients even say, “Why are you so fired up all the time?”

Easy answer: this is the dream.

Doing your own thing isn’t easy. I still delegate, still stay scrappy, and still get my hands dirty every day.

What has changed is clarity. Speed. And a real knack for finding solutions that actually move the needle for clients.

In 2025, we had one client that didn’t pan out. One. And that happens.

Everything else has been about alignment, execution, and building something sustainable—for us and the people we work with.

Momentum is a powerful thing when you’re clear on where you’re going.

Don't hire a full-time person to redo your entire brand and website—then eliminate the role. 

Instead, hire Chasing Creative. We can help you with that—and support your existing team long term. 

Too many founders want to hire full time people but really are not built for it—I know I'm in it now. 

Unless you have time to train, assign work, review, goal set, etc. on the daily you are setting yourself up for failure. 

At Chasing Creative we build a team for the project, retainer, mission—motivated by outcomes and deliverables.

People underestimate the power of video content. 

I created a video a while back that led to a client that has paid $100k+ for marketing services. 

Its not because I'm the best at shooting video, that I speak perfectly, or that I know more than everyone else.

It's the art of doing—getting things done. And being as collaborative as you can while protecting your time. 

This is the way.
