What I care about

A few things I try to live by

Skills matter, but character counts. Here is what guides how I work and how I treat people.

  • Build useful things

    I love making things online that actually work for the people using them. Simple, clear and effective beats clever every time.

  • Empower people

    The best work leaves someone more capable than before. I want business owners to understand their website, not feel held hostage by it.

  • Be a good neighbor

    Clients, partners and the folks down the street all deserve the same thing: someone who shows up, tells the truth and follows through.

  • Doing good in the world

    Business is one of the best tools I know for making a difference. I want mine to leave people and places better off than I found them.

My story

From global non-profit work to Main Street businesses

I got my start at a global non-profit here in Portland, working with teams around the world. That is where I learned project management, digital strategy and just how much clear communication matters.

Today, most of my time goes to Center Street Digital, a website and digital marketing agency serving independent small businesses. We build WordPress websites, take good care of them and increase visibility.

Every day I get to work with great clients, partners and creatives, and I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead.

What you can expect from me

  • 01

    I listen first

    Before any talk of websites or strategy, I want to understand you, your business and what a good outcome looks like for you.

  • 02

    I keep it plain

    No jargon and no upsell. You get clear options, honest trade-offs and the same recommendation I would give a friend.

  • 03

    I stick around

    I care about long relationships more than quick wins. Peace of mind comes from knowing someone has your back.

Wrestling with a website, a marketing question or operations questions? I'm always glad to think it through with you.

Questions I keep coming back to

Running a business raises bigger questions than how to rank on Google. These are a few I'm chewing on and writing about.

  • What does it mean to love my neighbor?
  • Do I really care about my clients?
  • What is ethical in an AI world?
  • How do I want to invest my life?
  • Why do neighborhoods matter?
  • Healthy human rhythms in a noisy digital world

Take a look around

Let's start a conversation

I love getting emails from small business owners and people working in the digital space. I read every one.
