About Me
I'm currently the Director of Lifecycle Marketing at Athletic Greens where I run all of the email marketing and SMS marketing programs. Prior to that I served in a similar role at SurveyMonkey where I owned the email journey for users interested in their enterprise products. I have also held roles at Kinsta , Compass , and Capital One .
I've appeared as a featured speaker at HubSpot’s INBOUND conference (in 2021 and 2022), Advertising Week in NYC, G2’s Reach conference, and Ignite Charlotte. I have also appeared on several podcasts including the Ops Cast, The Marketing Pod, SaaS Marketing Makeover, and The Industrial Marketing Show.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, camping, playing retro video games and spending time with my wife and three kids.
