Fortune 50-trained marketer with 16 years across paid media, product messaging, SEO/AEO, CRM, analytics, and launch execution. I have scaled a local business from $500K to $5M and built practical AI/product systems, so strategy and execution stay connected.

Experience
Real results from real businesses and shipped product labs. Metrics are framed as proven outcomes, live assets, or current build evidence.
Took over a local service business with zero digital infrastructure and scaled it 10x in under 3 years through integrated digital marketing.
Led digital marketing strategy for the nation's largest P&C insurer. Managed enterprise campaigns across 100+ agency partnerships.
Founded a digital marketing agency specializing in AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and SEO — helping local businesses get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, not just ranked in traditional search.
Founded and launched a peer-to-peer rental marketplace built exclusively for powersports — motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, jet skis, pontoons, golf carts, trailers, and snowmobiles. Built the product, trust flow, mobile apps, payment rails, SEO footprint, and social distribution engine end-to-end as a solo founder.
Built the business, product narrative, prototype path, public site, and sport-specific GTM system for a low-profile youth-sports sensor platform designed around parent-managed athletic context and coach-useful review.
Helped Freeze & Fizz roll up to events in Central IL from concept to launch: brand identity, full 16-foot trailer wrap, and digital footprint built before the first event opened its window.
Complete digital rebuild for a veteran-owned HVAC company with a 3.3-star Google rating, F BBB rating, and no website. Currently in progress.
Built the full marketing engine behind the $500K to $5M Leisure Pools of Illinois growth story: paid media, SEO, email, social content, CRM, booking conversion, and local demand capture.
Managed enterprise digital content and campaign workflows across major sports partnerships, regulated review cycles, CRM segmentation, and 100+ agency-partner coordination.
Flagship builds first, then the wider product bench. This is proof of execution range: market research, positioning, UX, auth, payments, analytics, compliance copy, and go-to-market shipped without hiding behind a handoff.
Flagship products are grouped first. Parked marketplaces sit at the end and are labeled honestly so the portfolio reads as operator proof, not as a claim that every experiment is the main business today.
Peer-to-peer powersports rental marketplace with web, iOS, Android, Stripe Connect payouts, messaging, waivers, pickup/return evidence, owner rules, partner materials, and a 120-day market-builder social engine.
Golf simulator-to-course data passport with screenshot import, stat review, Bag DNA, equipment locker, player-owned data export, course-prep context, and iOS App Store presence. Android/Play status stays out of the claim until a live Play listing is added.
Pre-launch BLE athletic sensor build for youth sports: no watch, no vest, no chest strap. Current work spans Feather prototypes, Pro/Gen 2 enclosure direction, parent/coach app planning, sport workflow research, public SEO/AEO pages, compliant social themes, and trademark filing. No shipped units, paid pilots, or performance claims are implied.
RidgeRoad flagship for loaded rucking, trail readiness, Murph prep, and Garmin-switcher workflows. Ridgerun remains the current public App Store listing while RuckMode-branded listing work continues; the separate legacy RuckMode lane has been merged into one clean field-command story.
Outside-in AI governance scanner built by Josh Frost / Below Zero Media. GovernScan checks public AI claims, shadow AI risk, vendor evidence gaps, NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act readiness framing, and customer AI questionnaire pressure. Portfolio proof: public scanner, sample reports, SEO/AEO cluster, schema, sitemap, llms context, lead capture, and Command Center tracking are live.
Freight invoice audit and recovery product built by Josh Frost / Below Zero Media. RateProof gives shippers a live intake flow for invoices and rate confirmations, turns freight overbilling into a clear recovery workflow, and connects the offer to Stripe checkout while keeping outreach and compliance governance documented. Portfolio proof: public site, intake path, checkout path, and operator-ready governance are live; analytics and credential evidence are pending verification.
AI photo enhancer for Airbnb/VRBO hosts, marketplace sellers, and powersports listings. Web and native iOS are live; the product uses a Flask/Railway backend with Replicate and a free-to-paid usage model.
Health-adjacent utility with strict compliance boundaries: user-entered medication records, vial math, legal pages, promise-risk cleanup, supporter terms, Android wrapper, Google Play review packet, and Mac-side iOS/watchOS handoff prepared.
Public SplashLens brand for pool-service workflow: scan, route-ready training, parts/help context, and technician proof.
AI-powered regulatory and contract change monitoring for law firms and compliance teams. Watches 25–100 URLs, diffs daily, delivers a Monday brief in plain English so legal teams stop reading 40-page documents to find the two paragraphs that changed. Built on Cloudflare Workers + D1, Anthropic Claude for change summarization, and SendGrid for digest delivery. Target buyers: Clio, Fastcase, Thomson Reuters, Harvey.
Premium B2B SaaS for ag input price intelligence. Watches fertilizer, chemical, fuel, and seed signals, packages LOCK / HOLD / NEGOTIATE / INSUFFICIENT_DATA guidance, and supports a free-scorecard wedge into paid co-op accounts.
BZM-adjacent answer-engine product that turns AI-search visibility into a concrete reportable surface. It supports the local visibility leak repair offer while staying useful as a standalone proof asset.
Standalone real estate analysis product for realtors and investors, kept live as a productized proof point and potential BZM distribution wrapper alongside AnswerMap.
Farmland rental marketplace proof lane with landowner/farmer profiles, flexible lease framing, messaging, and marketplace architecture. Parked now, preserved as rural-marketplace execution evidence.
Farm equipment rental marketplace that cleared App Store Review on May 18, 2026. Kept as proof of store approval, trust-flow thinking, and marketplace build depth, but intentionally parked until the rural marketplace strategy reopens.
Livestock and ranch equipment rental concept for squeeze chutes, portable corrals, loading chutes, scales, and trailers. Parked with the Share Suite while preserving launch, waitlist, and trust-system history.
Hands-on execution across every major marketing channel and platform.
I spent 13 years at State Farm learning how enterprise marketing works from the inside -- managing campaigns for a Fortune 50 brand with 100+ agency partners across every major sports league.
Then I left and built a business from $500K to $5M doing it all myself -- paid media, SEO, email, social, content, CRM. No team. No agency. Just execution.
Now I use Below Zero Media as a proof-led marketing lab focused on AI-search visibility, SEO, reputation, websites, and local lead systems. It keeps me close to the work: finding visibility leaks, proving the gap, and building the repair.
I have also built 17 product lanes across marketplaces, B2B SaaS, consumer apps, Apple Watch utilities, health-adjacent tools, and AI-search products. The point is not that every product is the main business; it is that I can move from research to positioning to UX to payments to launch without waiting on a committee.
My priority is a full-time marketing role where I can bring that builder's urgency into growth, digital, product marketing, demand generation, or AI-enabled marketing operations.
