Mostly, I am known as a marketing strategist.
Being human, I am much more than that.

My frequencies include surfing, traveling, photography, skating, and talking with pretty much anyone.

I live in NJ or out of my road-rig Element named Buddy.

If you have a podcast, blog, YouTube channel, convention, or whatever, I am available for interviews/presentations. My photos have been printed in international magazines like Enginethusiast, and I’ve been a guest on life and business podcasts like Betterism, and YouTube channels like Alex Lytvynchuk.

Popular topics: extended travel, reducing variables in life and business, the focus and flow toward goals, marketing strategies for local businesses, real life vs. social norms - most of which are themed around doing what you want rather than what is expected of you.

Contact me for more info.

Fun facts:
My dog’s full name is Miss Honeysuckle Vermont Silver-Forge
Lifting weights is boring, so I train Muay Thai.
I started skating again in my 30s, and better than when I was a teen.
I’ve surfed for way too long to be this bad.
I like to grow my hair out and donate to a child.
After every donation, I say it is the last time, and then I do it again.
When I was 16, I started working for a concert promotions company.
Since then, I’ve worked in marketing/promo/public relations.
I can’t eat meat. I got sick from red meat as a child and can’t return. Being vegetarian is easy.
Most of my purchases are focused on sustainability.
Please make eco-consciousness part of your decisions.

As a photographer I like to shoot my travels, surfing, skating, lifestyle, and most of all, portraits. My portraits are focused on empowerment of the model. I collaborate with them, and shoot to their comfort level. This is the most rewarding photography as I make incredible friends and I create a safe space for my models.
