Six years running Minnesota Marketing. Ten more in the work before that.
Before Minnesota Marketing, I spent four years as VP of Operations for a fast-growing automotive aftermarket brand — on-screen talent, vendor relationships, product development, and one of the early operators building what's now called influencer marketing. Those four years showed me what's possible when the right team puts the right effort in the right places.
Minnesota Marketing was built on that same operating philosophy: diagnose the bottleneck, fix what's leaking, build a machine that keeps producing. I work with real businesses — trades, ecommerce brands, service operators, regional retailers — and I bring the same hands-on mechanical instinct to their marketing systems that I'd bring to any other performance problem.
I'm based in Bemidji, in Northern Minnesota. I work across the Upper Midwest, and I don't take on more clients than I can actually serve well. That's not a marketing line — it's how I've kept near-zero churn for six years.
