From the moment I saw my first computer in 1982 at just 12 years old, I knew technology was my future. After a year of mowing lawns, pulling weeds and babysitting, I managed to buy my very own computer in 1983, kicking off a lifelong passion for tech. In high school, I started with building computers but quickly switched to programming after my high school teacher introduced me to a Macintosh in 1986, right when desktop publishing was starting to shake up the printing industry.

My fascination with technology only grew, and in 1994, while teaching college at the age of 24, I saw the World Wide Web for the first time. I instantly knew it was going to change everything. After spending 15 years in the corporate world working with real estate agents, I decided it was time to pursue my passion for helping small businesses master their marketing. Inspired by the new AI revolution, I founded Summit Marketing and later MarketingHero, Inc., using cutting-edge AI and automation to revolutionize marketing strategies.

The response and support from the community of business owners have been incredible. My knack for breaking down marketing concepts into simple, actionable steps has really hit home for entrepreneurs looking to boost their businesses.

Today, as I continue to lead Summit Marketing and develop MarketingHero, Inc., my commitment to empowering businesses with the tools and strategies they need to succeed in today’s digital world is stronger than ever.
