About

A partner in the business, not a vendor to it.

I help owner-led businesses run better and grow — with custom software, clear strategy, honest research, and marketing that actually connects. One person accountable for the whole picture.

Why it exists

Good businesses lose ground when their systems can't keep up.

I kept seeing the same thing: owners doing excellent work, held back not by the work itself but by everything around it — a website that undersold them, a Google presence that was invisible, and operations still living in a notebook or a dozen spreadsheets.

Taylormade Brands started as branding and websites. But the businesses I worked with kept needing more — a way to capture leads, a system to run the day, real numbers to make decisions. So the work grew into what it is now: custom software, strategy, research, and reporting, alongside the marketing.

That's the difference between a vendor and a partner. A vendor hands you a deliverable. A partner stays in the business with you and builds what it actually needs next.

How I work

Systems beat scattered effort.

Understand first

Before building anything, I learn how the business really runs and where growth is leaking.

Build the system

Software, brand, and lead flow designed to work together and remove the busywork.

Measure honestly

Research and reporting so decisions are made on evidence, and you can see what's working.

Grow together

We iterate as a partnership, and the system compounds over time.

Background

Leadership and systems, before software.

My path isn't traditional agency work. It comes from education leadership, coaching, ministry, and community — years spent building systems, leading teams, and solving practical problems. That's what shapes how I partner with businesses today.

Experience that shapes the work

Education leadership and statewide systems work
Former school administrator
Youth sports coach and local league volunteer
Ministry leadership and teaching
Community-based relationship building
Process improvement and practical problem solving

Local roots

I care about local businesses because I care about local communities.

I grew up in this area, raise my family here, coach here, and serve here. Small businesses aren't logos on a screen — they're families, jobs, and community trust. I don't build things to look good in a portfolio. I build them to help real businesses earn attention, build trust, and create opportunities.

Who I work best with

Owners who want a partner and clear next steps.

Local service businesses

Trades, contractors, farms, and owner-led companies that do great work and want it to show.

Teams & organizations

Leagues, teams, churches, schools, and nonprofits that need a stronger presence and better systems.

Growing businesses

Companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools and need something built for them.
