I've spent 15 years in the trenches – building companies, navigating two successful exits, and leading SEO through an IPO. Now I bring that boardroom-tested strategy to clients who need more than tactics. They need results.

The Journey
From agency founder to enterprise strategist – 15 years of building what works
Founded SEO Hermit
Launched a full-service digital agency with an in-house team of developers, SEOs, designers, and content strategists – serving hundreds of local businesses.
First Incubated Venture
Applied SEO Hermit's growth playbook to incubate a subscription commerce company, pioneering a new category in an emerging industry.
First Exit & Enterprise Leadership
After a successful acquisition, took on Digital Strategy leadership for a 12-brand enterprise portfolio spanning DTC and B2B distribution.
IPO & Strategic Pivot
Guided the enterprise through its public offering. Pivoted SEO Hermit from agency model to strategic consulting for medium and enterprise clients.
Second Successful Exit
Completed a second exit from incubated eCommerce and wholesale ventures, validating the strategic frameworks developed over 13 years.
Strategic SEO Consulting
Bringing 15 years of operator experience, two exits, and enterprise portfolio leadership to organizations ready for serious organic growth.
What I Bring to Every Engagement
The perspective of someone who's been in your seat – building, scaling, and exiting businesses.
I Understand Exits & ROI
Having built and sold companies, I know that SEO success means business outcomes – not just rankings. Every strategy is tied to revenue impact.
Operator, Not Just Consultant
I've been in the seat – running P&L, managing teams, scaling operations. I bring an operator's lens to every SEO engagement.
Enterprise-Ready Approach
From cross-functional alignment to vendor management, I operate at the level enterprise teams expect – and medium businesses deserve.
Emerging Industry Expertise
Deep experience in regulated and emerging industries – cannabis, fintech, eCommerce – where standard playbooks don't apply.
SEO as a Strategic Growth Lever
Too many businesses treat SEO as a technical checkbox or a content factory. I see it differently – as a strategic lever that, when pulled correctly, compounds over time to become your most profitable acquisition channel.
This means understanding your business model, your competitive landscape, and your growth objectives before touching a single keyword. It means building infrastructure that scales, not tactics that expire.
Whether you need a Fractional SEO Director embedded with your team or strategic consulting on a specific initiative, I bring the same rigor and business-first thinking to every engagement.
