I spent 13 years building SUMO Heavy Industries from scratch to acquisition. Now I run Awesome Things XYZ, a holding company for the projects I'm building.
Two decades of building, breaking, and figuring it out. From startups to acquisition.
Building what's next.
Growing what matters.
Amplifying what's worth hearing.

2026–Present
Fractional Growth Partner
Agency Focus
Fractional growth consulting for agencies and consultancies doing $1M–$10M. Dev shops, digital agencies, product studios. I work embedded with founders and leadership teams as a growth partner, not a vendor.
Four tracks → Operations & delivery, growth & BD engine, positioning & market presence, content strategy. Not theory. Playbooks I've already run for 20+ years.

Content Amplification
14:59 PM Studio
Podcast production, daily distribution, thought leadership, and repurposing systems for founders who have strong signal but no time to broadcast it.
Bottom Line → Standalone or snaps into an Agency Focus engagement when a client is ready to build visibility.

2011–2023
CEO & Founder
SUMO Heavy Industries (Acquired)
eCommerce and digital experience agency. Built from scratch over 13 years to acquisition. Clients included Pitney Bowes, Zoom, Roku, and Rogue Fitness.
Bottom Line → 800+ episodes of the eCommerce Minute podcast. Learned most of what I know by getting it wrong first and figuring it out second.
Craft & Care
- Intentionality over efficiency.
- Own the outcome.
- Make the invisible visible.
- Finish with pride.
- Serve people, not projects.

If you run an agency and growth feels like it's held together with duct tape, or you're a founder with something worth saying but no system to say it — that's what we do.
