​Professor by title. Marketer by nature.

There's a version of this bio that reads like a LinkedIn profile. Degrees, titles, years of experience. That version exists — it's in the table down below.

But here's the real story: I walked onto a college campus with zero appointment and no plan, just a hunch that teaching marketing could be as fulfilling as doing it. That hunch turned into a full-time faculty position, a Social Media Marketing program, hundreds of students, and more than a few life-changing moments I wasn't expecting.

​I'm still running the agency I started in 2008. I still take on consulting clients. I still show up to campus every semester to challenge students who thought marketing was just posting on Instagram.
