20 years of making the complex clear.

Marketing for
products that are
hard to explain.

I turn complex B2B products into clear positioning and marketing that works. For people, and for the machines they ask.

03 / The person behind the work

I like the
complicated stuff.

Industrial services. IT infrastructure. Software that takes three meetings to explain.

I've spent 20 years helping B2B companies find the clear story inside a complex product. Through my own practice, I've worked as the embedded marketing lead for more than 25 companies. I've also stepped into in-house roles to rebuild the function.

I direct a digital media design program at a Houston community college, too. Teaching keeps me honest. Building keeps me curious.

The tools here come from that same habit: if I want to understand something, I make something that works.
