About The Marketing Dad
If Marketing is Life, then being a Dad is Immortality.
In the world of marketing, ambition drove me relentlessly toward success. But everything changed when I became a dad—not once, but twice. Parenthood rewired my priorities, emphasizing family over career goals.
Returning to work, I realized it wasn't about choosing between family and career, but integrating both seamlessly. Fatherhood has uniquely prepared me for tackling the largest marketing challenges to date but also the most memorable, forgettable, important, and kind of awesome in its own way.
As a dad, I strive to nurture love and integrity, values I also infuse into my marketing work.
For me, true success lies in balancing family and career, allowing each to enrich the other. There's no greater joy than seeing my loved ones thrive while making a meaningful impact in the world.
My Professional Background
I've reached executive level digital marketing expertise in far too many years in the industry but am proud of working on some of the most known film and video game franchises. Whether it's IRL activations, bleeding edge tech or first to market social media initiatives, I've done it all. I've also been lucky enough to understand the operations, process, and soft skills needed to get a job done, n budget and in a timely manner. And most importantly, with integrity. Nobody should be surprised to hear that the industry can be morally questionable and even bankrupt at times. However, I refuse to give my honor up for anything. Not worth it at all.
Some Personal Stuff
Aside from loving every moment with my family, I also enjoy being a sneakerhead. I can now buy the shoes I couldn't when I was a kid. 2 of my favorite sports teams have won (multiple) championships in my life (The Warriors and the Giants) but my 3rd favorite team (The Raiders) and I have a complex relationship. I'm taking some time away but we're working on it. I'm a self-certified cicerone who aspires to be one one day but my dad bod isn't prioritizing it these days. I also enjoy sketching and am currently designing my future tattoos. I really love golf. Fun fact: I used to be an IG husband but that life is for the birds.
