About
Hello and thanks for visiting my profile.
I am the CTO of Mediavine Marketing, where we simplify social media for successful businesses and professionals through training, consulting and management. We minimize your efforts and maximize your results.
In addition to Mediavine, I’m also the CTO and co-founder of the Linked Local Network (LLN). LLN is a networking organization for professionals who utilize social media to promote their businesses and accomplish their goals. The Linked Local Network has 14 groups on LinkedIn and 7 niche industry groups across 4 states. We hold numerous online and offline networking events that have allowed thousands of professionals broaden their networks and expand their customer bases.
One of my most valuable skills is “people connector”. I enjoy helping people make beneficial connections and use the insight and business acumen I’ve developed over the years to form many successful partnerships, both for myself and for others.
I'm also an avid user of technology and social media. I bring my 20+ years of hardcore technology experience to the testing and development of social media strategies and tactics for our clients.
