I build the systems other agencies sell.
Twenty years inside the work. SEO, paid media, AI automation, custom websites. One operator, direct to you. No account managers, no agency layer, no handoffs.
Twenty years. Two thousand sites. Fifty million in ad spend.
One operator. No handoffs.
One operator. No account managers. No handoffs. I build the systems other agencies sell — directly with you, end to end.
If you've ever paid an agency $5K/mo and felt like you were talking to a different person every week, that's the problem I exist to solve.

Nine ways I help businesses convert more, spend less, and stop guessing.
Search — SEO
Technical architecture, content systems and local dominance. Built to compound, not to report.
Paid Media — Google Ads
Search-term waste audits, conversion tracking that actually works, campaigns run against real revenue.

Custom builds on whatever the job demands. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or raw code like this page.

Agent systems, content pipelines and n8n workflows that remove the humans from the boring parts.

Analytics & Tracking

Hosting & Care

Marketers guess. Examiners prove.
I'm also a digital forensics examiner. Mobile extractions, spyware investigations, expert-witness testimony. When your marketer has reconstructed evidence for a courtroom, "the data says" means something different.

Three steps. No mystery.
Most agencies make the process feel complicated to justify the price tag. It isn't.
Discovery call
Fifteen minutes. Tell me what you're trying to do. I tell you whether I can help and what I'd build.
Strategy & scope
Within 48 hours you get a real plan: what gets built, what it costs, what results look like, on what timeline.
Build & ship
I do the work. You see updates as it happens. No status meetings, no account manager filtering everything.
Stop wasting your money with digital agencies.
Talk directly to the operator. Get the answer, not a proposal. 15 minutes, real diagnostic: honest opinion on what to fix first, no SDR screening, no follow-up sales pressure. Walk away with one concrete fix.
