Founders
With an undergrad degree Belmont University in 2010, I navigated a challenging entry into the workforce during the Great Recession. A recipient of a prestigious scholarship from The Recording Academy, I embarked on a diverse career journey in music, from Nashville to New York, before finding my niche in the marketing world in Houston, TX. There, I excelled in digital marketing, earning Partner at Adhere Creative, one of the first 100 HubSpot Partner Agencies in the world, and leading the marketing services division to earn recognition as the Best Agency in Texas and Inc 5000's fastest-growing.
After departing Adhere, I co-founded Strategy Collective with Dominique James, focusing on leading private equity-backed, multi-location specialty healthcare groups in their marketing development. Our leadership philosophy encourages risk-taking, learning from mistakes, and a hands-on approach, epitomized by our willingness to dive into the trenches alongside our team. Personally, I'm a devoted family man with a passion for golf, striving to break par while balancing the joys of fatherhood and marriage.
I grew up in St. Croix, USVI, and moved to Houston, TX to attend Rice University. After completing my BA in English Literature, I worked as a grant writer and researcher for a few years. I leveraged my college and early work experience to launch my career in marketing. I began as a content marketer with a Clinical Research Organization in Miami. I quickly expanded my role past a content focus and decided my best path to more varied experience was with an agency. The time I spent working with general B2B marketing agencies honed my marketing strategy and account management skills.
I took the leap into entrepreneurship when Matt Lee and I started Strategy Collective. We shared a vision for how we would divert from the traditional marketing agency model. We focus on finding the best people in niche areas of marketing. Together, we are a team of experts who work together to provide our clients with effective marketing strategies and tools to scale their businesses. Our leadership style emphasizes continuous learning, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. We lead from the front, diving into tasks and working together to tackle new challenges every day.
