Your relationship marketing expert

Since 2012, I have been designing and refining marketing programs, achieving success by building strong relationships, analyzing data, and collaborating with marketing teams to create effective relationship marketing channels within brands. I understand the crucial role relationship marketing plays in the overall marketing strategy and have the experience to navigate and optimize these channels. I don’t view relationship marketing in isolation, but rather as an integral component of a broader strategy that drives long-term brand success.

How I got here

I spent the first part of my career developing skills and knowledge in various aspects of digital marketing, such as PPC, SEO, programmatic display, affiliate marketing, paid social, and more. Because of this, I have the strategic understanding and background to know how affiliate works in conjunction with all other marketing channels. In 2020 I honed in on relationship marketing, where marketing relationships are most important, where you can find your potential customers at a high rate of return with minimal risk, and in a way that is authentic to your brand. It’s what the future of marketing was 15 years ago, and will be what the future of marketing is now, and I am learning and growing with it.

When I’m not working

I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wife and four sweet kids. When I am not building and optimizing marketing programs, you will find me serving our local church, browsing for a new pair of Air Jordans, or on a road trip with my family.

Why 519?

The number 519 (five-nineteen) comes from Ecclesiastes 5:19, where work is described as purposeful, something to be enjoyed, and a gift from God. 519 Agency is God’s provision of all of those things for me and my family, a meaningful livelihood. I am thrilled that I get to help brands and teams build and optimize their marketing through this business, bringing almost 15 years of experience to brands across verticals and around the world.
