What I'm looking for

Remote IT & marketing pro with 20+ yrs leading $150M tech projects & $1.2M e-comm wins. Seek leadership roles in SaaS or AI to drive impact via UNIX, SEO & storytelling. In Cabarete, DR (AST), I want innovative teams & flexibility. Love bold challenges with purpose & humor. If you’re building something epic, I’m your guy.

I’m a seasoned IT consultant, digital marketing strategist, and business leader with over 20 years of experience driving high-stakes projects and building brands that stick. I’ve led global teams to deliver flawless $150M IT migrations, slashed storage costs by 60% for Fortune 500 giants, and scaled e-commerce ventures to $1.2M in sales with zero-budget marketing. My sweet spot? Blending tech savvy—think UNIX, SAN, cybersecurity—with creative firepower like SEO, PPC, and viral TikTok campaigns. I’ve built humor-driven brands like The Dicksonary, hitting $367K in sales in just three weeks, and crafted $15M real estate portfolios through storytelling and data-driven strategy.

I thrive on solving complex problems, whether it’s orchestrating zero-defect NAS migrations or designing AI-powered marketing funnels that convert. My toolkit spans Agile/Scrum, ITIL, Salesforce, Google Analytics, WordPress, and Adobe Suite, but I’m just as comfortable mentoring teams or editing a killer video in CapCut. I’m fueled by the chaos of innovation—turning ideas into measurable wins—and I’m always chasing the next challenge that demands both technical precision and creative flair.

Outside work, I’m a digital nomad in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, soaking up the surf and sun while tinkering with AI trends and sustainable tech like recycling systems. I’m passionate about projects that blend profit with purpose, from green energy to impactful storytelling. I’m looking for remote roles in project management, digital marketing, or business strategy where I can lead teams, crush KPIs, and maybe sneak in a clever quip or two. If you’re hiring for a role that needs a versatile leader who’s been there, done that, and still hungers for more, let’s talk.
