I've seen it all. From struggling to get food and rent to driving 7-figure revenues for brands. I'm now an SEO and content specialist at Contact, an SEO agency that makes $20M/yr for clients. 

We've helped companies like Shopify, Kajabi, and beehiiv to turn search traffic into dependable, predictable revenue.

I went from being a broke and confused freelance writer in 2011 to being a top-rated copywriter who's written for valuable brands like beehiiv and Kajabi. 

I'm grateful for so many things...

Grateful to have been featured on TV, the papers, multiple blogs, ProWritingAid, HuffPost, HostAdvice, etc.

Grateful to have been one of the co-founders of a US-based digital marketing agency.

Grateful to have helped multiple clients.

Grateful to have built a site from zero to 3M+ in traffic and a mailing list from zero to 20,000+ engaged email subscribers.

I've been working at Contact, the most innovative SEO agency, since March 2023. One of my most satisfying things has been seeing valuable companies multiplying their revenue through SEO.

Head of Marketing at iCG Pay - HubSpot-Certified Marketer and LinkedIn Sales Nav Whiz

I started my career selling software over cold calls. Every day was a mix of rejection, curiosity, and small wins. Somewhere between dialing the 50th number and closing my first big account, I realized something. Most sales teams don’t fail because they can’t sell. They fail because marketing, sales, and operations don’t talk to each other.

That’s where I decided to focus.

Over the last 7+ years, I’ve helped B2B companies bridge that gap. I work with CEOs, founders, and sales leaders to design demand generation systems that actually move the needle. Some projects are straightforward, like CRM setup and optimization in HubSpot or Salesforce. Others are more ambitious, like building a custom SaaS logistics platform from scratch using React and Supabase to replace 90% of manual processes.

Along the way, I’ve built full websites and landing pages that not only look good but convert, designed personal branding systems that help founders grow their audience, and developed custom web apps for small businesses — including an end-to-end platform for my dad’s logistics company, complete with official email setup, CRM integration, and automated workflows.

Automation has become a big part of my toolkit. Whether it’s using n8n to route leads, connecting web forms to CRMs, or setting up AI-assisted content pipelines, I look for ways to remove manual work so teams can focus on strategy and creativity.

I’ve led ABM campaigns, scaled SEO-driven content marketing, run Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads, and built email outreach sequences that turn cold leads into warm conversations. I’m equally comfortable planning a GTM strategy as I am getting hands-on with analytics, tracking every click in GA4 to understand what’s really driving results.

Some recent wins:
Scaled blog traffic 50x in six months with a complete SEO and content overhaul using SEMrush and HubSpot CMS.
Built inbound and outbound funnels that generated enterprise-level B2B deals in SaaS and fintech.
Designed conversion-focused landing pages, eBooks, and case studies that consistently hit MQL targets.
Created a fully automated logistics SaaS product from scratch, now live and in active use.

If it’s about B2B marketing, demand generation, performance marketing, CRM automation, website development, app building, or personal branding, I’ve probably built it, fixed it, or scaled it. And if I haven’t yet, I’ll figure it out.
