About

As the Founder of Etumos, I'm working to elevate Etumos to new horizons through grit more than words, through extreme aptitude and competency and effort and merit, and forging deep connection with my coworkers and clients by working on the front lines together as a team toward unified goals. As the Lead at Etumos, I consult with hypergrowth clients on achieving hypergrowth. Instead of starting with the tactics, I'm starting with the Strategy and aggressive goals and finding the best solution based on today's reality of tools and markets and teams. This keeps my skills sharp. In my opinion, we're in a "before and after" in macroeconomics and history itself for the Big Tech industry. When AI was born, Tech schism'ed into "Old Tech" and "New Tech." I saw the shift happen as a fly on the wall in the investor circles for the past few years. "New Tech" isn't into hypergrowth yet (hardly past Seed into Series A), but they will be soon, and I am excited to watch that explode in success just like we helped Big Tech do it the first time. I'm proud to have weathered a full macroeconomic business cycle as an entrepreneur. I'm back, and I'm here to grow the Second Stage of Etumos Growth. -- I bootstrapped my company "Etumos" in August 2014 as a high-end marketing technology consulting firm with Google as our first client. For 6 years, I cut my teeth doing hands-on-keyboard consulting, usually-in-person consulting for the top tech companies around. I built the future with the best. It was and is thrilling. We grew Etumos, and I loved that phase of our growth as a company with the energy in the (*fully remote*) room. I passed the leadership baton and learned the next levels of the game, dabbling in Angel Investing and accredited investing, learning how the next-higher echelon of brilliant business people and investors and legitimate leaders think and operate. During my first period of company leadership, I used authentic growth techniques to grow Etumos into the market-defining marketing technology consulting firm in Tech, topping out our growth speed at faster than 100% revenue growth YoY with healthy margins for 3 consecutive years. We have excelled in our niche. Growth Stage 1: By 2017, we were $1mm in revenue, fully remote, with 6 employees over 3 states. By 2020, we were $6.5mm in revenue, fully remote, with 39 employees over 19 states. By 2022, we were $9.5mm in revenue, fully remote, with 55+ employees over 25+ states. From 2023 to 2025, we were on the slow decline along with Big Tech. Growth Stage 2: From 2026, we go up again, smarter this time.

  • We're entering a new era of growth, and I'm focused on building the future. That means wading through every tool's updates from the last 5 years within Marketing Technology and Operations from the starting point. Now with my seasoned experience in growing a consulting company focused on and within Old Tech, I'm hoping to build our company with the bleeding-edge of fully-harnessed New Tech.
  • I offer rare and expensive Operations Lead (management) consulting work, where I take hands-on dedication to invigorating challenges so that I can refresh my knowledge with the joy of rallying extraordinary supporting teams of Etumotes. I am now putting in billable work from the front lines again as Lead Consultant on some clients to remaster the hands-on-keyboard reality of making absurd growth goal mandates come true, project by project.
  • Beyond that, I'm spending 20% of my time each week on New Tech, embracing a new era of creating structure out of nothing. As an early adopter of all technologies (marketing, sales, development) historically, I am legitimatelly thrilled to be seeing how far technology has come--I'm optimizing my method of work for an AI First Operations paradigm shift, so I can show bring more ideas to reality as a foundational AI Operator leading New Tech's invention of process and operations.
