Connex Digital
Connex is the consulting team behind most of the work I do. If you need a broader build, a team rollout, or multi-system automation, start here:
 

Background

I started as an IT nerd, switched into digital marketing in 2007, and built an SEO agency that evolved into a workflow automation agency.

Personal

I’m a family-first person. I’m lucky to have a big, blended crew of kids, and even a growing set of grandkids.

If you’re here to understand how I think and work, the short version is: clarity, leverage, and reliability beat hustle.
