The receipts.

Three chapters of an executive marketing career. Same discipline — brand, growth, systems, leadership — applied across nonprofit, private sector, and command environments.

CASE 01

Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnson County

The 90-Year Turnaround

Director of Development & Communications · 2023–Present

The Problem

A beloved 90-year-old nonprofit had a dated brand, a 15-year-old website, and a fundraising engine that leaned heavily on institutional memory. Revenue goals exceeded $460K annually — and the digital front door didn't match the mission.

The Strategy

  • Rebuild the brand narrative around a 90th Anniversary storytelling arc
  • Modernize the digital experience — full website redesign aligned to growth objectives
  • Diversify revenue: corporate partnerships, foundation grants, community giving
  • Segment donor communications by lifecycle stage and giving capacity

Execution

  • Led first comprehensive website redesign in 15+ years
  • Launched integrated 90th Anniversary campaign across social, email, and events
  • Built out corporate partnership funnel with tiered sponsorship architecture
  • Stood up new donor journey and stewardship touchpoints

CASE 02

SCC Virtual Solutions

The Growth Practice

Founder & Principal Consultant · 2016–Present

The Problem

Small-to-mid-market organizations — ecommerce brands, franchise systems, nonprofits — need executive-level marketing leadership but can't yet afford a full-time CMO. The gap between 'we need a marketer' and 'we have a strategy' was widening.

The Strategy

  • Position as a fractional CMO and strategic marketing advisor
  • Build repeatable playbooks for demand gen, brand, and digital transformation
  • Integrate AI-enabled workflows to scale small teams
  • Move clients from campaign thinking to systems thinking

Execution

  • Served as strategic advisor to 150+ organizations across sectors
  • Directed multi-channel campaigns: digital, email, paid media, social, content
  • Led digital transformation — website, SEO, CRM, marketing automation, AI
  • Supported 70+ franchise launches with go-to-market playbooks

  • Optimize resource allocation under severe budget constraints
  • Lead from the front — the operating bar for every team since

Execution

  • Commanded a 200-member Medical Company
  • Coordinated combat medical operations in Afghanistan
  • Planned installation-wide emergency preparedness and disaster response
  • Developed training programs for nearly 400 personnel
