I specialize in developing SOPs and scalable systems to ensure marketing efforts are both sustainable and repeatable. A data-driven mindset allows me to continuously optimize strategies, focusing on what delivers the best results.
Beyond marketing, I’m a passionate sports fan who never turns down a pickup game or outdoor adventure. I love spending time with my wife and son—whether on family walks, at the park, or exploring new places together.
I’d love the opportunity to bring my expertise to your team. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked appointments and measurable growth through AI powered systems
San Diego, California
$53/hr$53 per hour5.0 (2) 3 jobs $15 total earnings
Consistent sales conversations become the norm when the Booked Lead Engine runs your follow up, and AI Audits guide what to automate next for continued growth.
The Booked Lead Engine contacts new leads with outbound calling the moment they arrive, whether they come from Facebook ads, Google ads, your website, landing pages, directories, referral sources, trade shows, email campaigns, or any other channel. No delays and no missed opportunities. The AI begins with an outbound call, continues follow up with additional outbound calls, and reinforces contact through text and email, qualifying prospects and booking meetings directly on your calendar. What sets the Engine apart is that it is trained on more than three million real sales calls and fully customized to your business, which means the conversations your prospects experience match your tone, your offer, and your sales approach. The result is predictable appointments without hiring extra staff or chasing leads manually.
AI Audits then examine the full business for inefficiencies that slow growth or drain resources. Operations, sales processes, client follow up, customer support, staff workload, manual tasks, scheduling, marketing, and lead handling are all reviewed. The audit pinpoints where AI and automation provide the strongest leverage and what sequence will produce the best return. You get a clear roadmap showing where to introduce automation for revenue gains, cost reductions, consistent delivery, and better retention.
With booked conversations flowing and a roadmap that identifies where automation delivers the highest ROI, supporting systems can scale around them. That can include:
• Automated outbound email campaigns that open conversations and nurture prospects
• Message marketing through email and SMS to drive appointment bookings
• Conversion focused sites and landing pages that turn visitors into leads
• CRM setup and optimization so your pipeline stays clean and actionable
• Targeted ad campaigns that feed qualified leads into the Booked Lead Engine
• AI voice and chat agents that handle inquiries and book calls around the clock
The outcome is a connected system that turns leads into booked conversations consistently. Opportunities stop slipping through the cracks, staff workload becomes more focused, and your business gains leverage where it matters most.
How the work progresses:
The starting point is either the Booked Lead Engine or an AI Audit. The Engine brings you more booked calls. The Audit shows where AI driven automation produces the greatest advantage across the entire business. Together they create a focused path to measurable growth with one source of accountability.
What to expect:
• Predictable booked appointments and higher quality conversations
• A prioritized roadmap showing where AI delivers the strongest ROI
• Growth plans grounded in practical next steps
• Transparent processes with no surprises
• Systems that stay aligned with evolving goals
Platforms and tools used:
GoHighLevel CRM and automation
n8n for workflow automation
Meta and Google advertising platforms
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, ElevenLabs and related AI integrations
Webflow and WordPress for conversion focused sites
Google Business Profile and related visibility tools
If more booked conversations, better use of time, and steady growth without adding workload would benefit your business, reach out. The first step is choosing whether to begin with the Booked Lead Engine or an AI Audit so your progress is focused, clear, and built around measurable results.
