You don't need more tactics.
You need someone who's been there.
Running an agency can feel heavy and lonely — especially when growth stalls and you're not sure what to fix first. I've built and exited two agencies. I'll help you figure out exactly what's capping your growth and how to fix it fast.
Results from agency owners I've worked with
Real results from real agency owners
Everything you need to scale — with someone in your corner
Most agency owners are solving the same problems alone that dozens of others have already solved. My job is to shortcut that path for you.
Deep-Dive Kickoff
Before our first call, we dig into your numbers, offer, and pricing to identify the highest-leverage bottlenecks. No guesswork — just a clear picture of what's actually holding you back.
Regular 1:1 Strategy Sessions
We meet consistently to move your business forward. Every call ends with clear homework so you always know exactly what to do next. No more spinning your wheels.
Async Access Between Calls
Get stuck between sessions? You have direct async access to me via Voxer and/or Slack. Quick question or a decision you need a second opinion on — I'm there.
Accountability That Actually Works
Clients consistently say the accountability is the most valuable part. Knowing someone is tracking your commitments changes how you show up — every single week.

I've built what you're building. I've sold both of them. I can help you get there too.
After spending a few years working for agencies on the East Coast and then in-house with Zillow in San Francisco, I spent 10 years scaling and selling two of my own agencies.
Now I help digital agency owners double in the next year so you can exit in 3–5 (if you want to). I'm great at helping founders improve their sales close rates, attract more of the right type of client, and grow into more profit and fun.
I work 1:1 with a select group of agency owners at a time. First we get clear on your biggest leverage points, then we work to systematically solve those so that profit and growth explode. It's a lot of fun.
In my personal life, I live in Denver, Colorado with my family. I've been married to Courtney (design manager at Stripe) since 2014, and have two young kids. Weeks are spent in Denver, and weekends are spent in the mountains near Breckenridge. My interests include travel, good whiskey, and fast German cars.
Be honest with yourself
This mentorship is designed for agency owners already doing $100k+/yr who are ready to break through to the next level — not for those just getting started.
- Are already at $100k+/yr and want to meaningfully scale
- Feel stuck and know you need an outside perspective to break through
- Deliver strong client results but struggle with pricing and positioning
- Are doing too much yourself and need to build real systems
- Take action fast — you don't just talk about change, you make it happen
- Want a business that's profitable, scalable, and eventually sellable
- Are under $100k/yr or haven't yet consistently closed and retained clients
- Are looking for a quick fix or magic-bullet growth hack
- Aren't willing to invest real time, money, and energy into change
- Prefer to think about it for months before doing anything
- Want someone to do the work for you, not alongside you
- Aren't open to being challenged on your assumptions
