In 2012, I lost my daughter in a car accident. The years that followed became my wilderness experience—preparing me for what I was about to discover in 2019.

After going through a divorce and finding myself as a full-time single dad, fighting to survive the transition, I learned the most valuable lesson about business: your pipeline isn't just your revenue source—it's your lifeline.

In 2018, I was cleaning pools at 5am just to get by. No business. No network. Just two little girls depending on me and a future I couldn't see.

Then 2019 came and everything changed. That's when I discovered the true power of LinkedIn and strategies & tools that felt like superpowers.

Not the "post your resume and hope" version of LinkedIn. The strategic, relationship-building, pipeline-generating approach that most people never discover.

It wasn't the platform that transformed my life—it was the relationships I built through it.

By 2020, I went from survival mode to landing clients like the New Jersey Devils, brokering deals in Dubai and Mexico City, and building Stormbreaker Digital—a LinkedIn-focused marketing firm that understands the fundamentals of good marketing, but also the right tools that get the job done right. We're both technical and creative, which gives our clients a significant advantage when looking to grow and scale.

We've now grown into an AI-first growth partner for businesses who want to adapt faster than their competitors and grow like crazy during this AI gold rush.

If you're looking for a skilled marketing team to build AI systems, tech-enable your business, support your sales team, grow your brand with world-class content in our podcast studio, or successfully go to market, let's have a conversation.

While we have specialized experience in SaaS, financial services, and a dozen B2B industries, we've found our most meaningful work is done with businesses that take a relationship-first approach to growth. This caters to our sweet spot of data + creative + brand + tech—now powered by AI.

I also co-authored "The LinkedIn Advantage" with world-renown Results Coach, Tony Jeary, because I believe every founder deserves to understand the strategies that rebuilt my life and business.

I also built LeadStorm AI - the only all-in-one CRM platform built for relationship-first businesses, especially companies in financial services.

If your pipeline feels like it's running on hope instead of systems, let's talk.

The same relationship-building strategies that took me from tragedy to building a global business can work for you too.

82% of B2B buyers think your reps are unprepared for calls.

The data backs them up.

16% of reps hit quota in 2024.
63% of deals are lost before needs assessment even starts.

The fix isn't training. It's infrastructure.

I built a system that delivers a full prospect intelligence briefing — company overview, org map, hiring signals, regulatory flags, verbatim discovery questions — in under 4 minutes. Any rep, any account, on demand.
