From a young age, I knew I wanted to help people and make a real difference. After my time in the Marines, I explored many service industries—automotive, HVAC, construction, landscaping, refrigeration repair, and even factory work—searching for my purpose. Along the way, I gained invaluable, hands-on experience that shaped who I am today. After putting myself through school full-time while working full-time and raising a family, I eventually found my true calling in marketing, working at an agency and helping small businesses grow.

At VSB Marketing, I aim to simplify marketing and focus on what truly works. My time in the agency world taught me a lot about both the big picture and the small details—how to plan, execute, and support businesses in meaningful ways. I saw firsthand that marketing can sometimes feel overwhelming or overly complicated. But I also learned just how much businesses can thrive when they have a clear strategy in place, guided by someone who genuinely understands their goals. My approach is honest, straightforward, and rooted in building trust—working side-by-side with owners to make their marketing dollars count.

Having lived in Wayne County my entire life, I truly understand Northeast Ohio—the people, the passion, and the dedication to hard work that defines this community. My ideal clients are small businesses on the rise—whether they’re veteran-owned or just getting their feet wet. They’ve done some of the groundwork but need marketing support they can trust—without paying big agency prices that come with extra overhead and pockets to fill. These business owners want real results at fair prices, and they want a partner who’s in the trenches with them.

With VSB Marketing, I’m not just looking for quick wins—I’m looking to build long-term relationships. Sure, I’m happy to help start-ups get rolling, but my goal is to work with a handful of dedicated clients for the next 20 or 30 years, not 30 different clients in the next five. I’m not here to get rich or build my own empire; I’m here to support my family while doing what I love—helping others grow their businesses.
