About Me

DTC Growth Is What I Do

I am a marketer, operator, advisor, investor, and consultant to some of the fastest growing DTC brands and commerce enablement infrastructure companies.

By day, I’m Director of E-commerce of Jones Road Beauty, one of the fastest growing DTC brands. By night I’m writing a weekly newsletter on what I’m learning, advising amazing companies like Triple Whale and Octane AI, and investing in the next big brands or SAAS. I also am co-founder of Premium Purveyor, a performance publisher where we offer brands the ability to whitelist to sponsored editorials as a low cost.

Every week, I write a newsletter on whatever is on my mind as it relates to DTC growth. I’m a believer in building a sustainable brand with organic traffic and a true differentiated value proposition and fueling that with brand first performance marketing.
