I am an experienced and versatile design and marketing professional. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Multimedia, Animation & Design, and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Multimedia Marketing.
My skillset ranges across graphic design, illustration, animation, 3D modeling, visual effects, video editing, sound design to web development and strategic marketing. I’m highly skilled with the Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Suite and any others industry standard marketing tools. I also bring extensive expertise in online advertising with extreme proficiency in SEO, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Bing Ads, and SEMrush, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pardot, WordPress, and other essential platforms. There is nothing I cannot learn quickly and easily.
I’ve built a career around creating impactful marketing materials and digital experiences. From banking websites to social media management, billboards, news, and commercials, I’ve done it all. I founded Android Alliance, which has grown into a massive community with over 2 million users and counting. At Cardinal Credit Union, I spearheaded all things marketing, from in-branch materials to full-scale ad campaigns, including working with the Cleveland Browns as the premier credit union to the Browns.
More recently, I led marketing efforts for Patter and its sister companies, LetsAllDoGood, Union Strong, and Homes4Good. Managing the marketing for four brands simultaneously, I brought in hundreds of qualified leads from non-profits, labor unions, and housing authorities. I thrive on taking complex projects and making them successful across the board.
In addition to these roles, I was recently added to FATAL Cybersecurity’s board as the main marketing advisor. In this position, I oversee, advise, and approve all major projects involving marketing, ensuring they align with the company’s strategic goals.

My love of art, visual effects, animation, and 3D has been pretty big driving force in my life for as long as I can remember. I also take pride in my ability to create and nurture large and thriving communities within various pursuits. I think it speaks to my innate talent for bringing people together.
At the age of 14 I became fascinated with computers and technology and taught myself how to build PCs, dabbled in programming, and explored ethical hacking skills for learning and security purposes. My early passion (obsession, let’s be real) for technology led me to online gaming where I became enamored with the artistry that went into creating such immersive worlds, and it deeply inspired me to learn how to make my own. I am constantly fueled by the desire to learn new skills to add to my repertoire, which is powered by the same curiosity and enthusiasm that sparked my interest in technology all those years ago.
Hobbies! One of my favorite activities is going on adventures with my Husky, Ares (his cuteness is also popular with the ladies). Our adventures mostly consist of me being yanked around or pulled as if I am a sled and we’re in a marathon, but nonetheless it is a deep joy that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I have a soft spot for horror movies and haunted houses because they bring a thrilling sense of excitement and an adrenaline rush. I also find it hysterical when my friends scream. I’m an online gamer (if you hadn’t guessed by now!), which has been a great source of entertainment, providing countless hours of fun and camaraderie with both friends and family. Through gaming, I’ve built lifelong friendships that go back more than 20 years, with people I still speak with to this very day.
My newest hobby is baking and experimenting with cake decorating and trying to create the fun things I’ve seen on shows like cupcake wars whilst usually failing miserably. Why not?
