Résumé / Credentials

Over two decades in web, marketing, and business strategy — still learning, still building, still helping small businesses grow smart.

What I Do Now

I’m the founder and digital strategist behind nimblefish, a small-but-mighty agency helping small businesses grow through smart websites, clear strategy, and modern marketing. Alongside that, I work directly with business owners and teams as a consultant and speaker, offering 1:1 strategy sessions, AI and automation planning, and practical workshops designed to cut through the noise and create real momentum.

Strategic Leadership

As Founder of nimblefish, I guide the agency’s vision, lead client strategy, and ensure every project aligns with what small businesses actually need — clarity, momentum, and results.

Modern Web, Built for Business

We create fast, user-friendly websites that don’t just look great — they work hard. Every build is designed to support growth, conversions, and ease of use.

Small-Team, Big-Impact Model

nimblefish runs lean by design. I lead a handpicked team of developers, designers, and marketers who collaborate closely — no layers, no fluff, just great work.

Accessible, Honest Communication

We keep clients in the loop, explain things clearly, and never overcomplicate. It’s web done well — with strategy first and no big-agency buzzwords.
