I'm a senior operator who looks across your Shopify business, diagnoses what's holding growth back, and builds the practical systems that turn strategy into revenue. I've spent 15+ years building revenue systems across digital marketing, SEM, marketplace, and e-commerce. My track record includes scaling a Top 50 startup, contributing to more than $100M in gross revenue, managing up to $20M in P&L responsibility, and growing a strategic partnership from $0 to nearly $20M in annual revenue. My specialty is execution, not advice. Unlike most consultants, I build what I recommend. I'm a Shopify developer who can go from strategy to live theme changes, custom Liquid sections, and full storefront builds — without handing off to a separate dev. I audit your current growth engine, identify where revenue is leaking, and integrate the frameworks, workflows, and tools that fix it, whether that means better acquisition, stronger retention, cleaner reporting, or more efficient operations. I work across the full Shopify growth stack, including Klaviyo, Triple Whale, Meta Ads, Google Ads, GA4, and current AI platforms. Where I can help: * Shopify development, design, and storefront builds * Shopify growth strategy and revenue gap audits * Conversion, acquisition, and retention optimization * AI tool evaluation and implementation * Paid media, SEM, and marketplace growth * Marketing automation and revenue operations I don't believe AI should be added because it's trendy. The right tools should solve specific business problems and create measurable financial impact.

I worked at Facebook for a year, and I am a paid media consultant who helps businesses optimize their Shopify e-commerce revenue and lead generation efforts with Facebook Advertising, Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC) and Social Media Marketing. I have deep experience with Facebook Ads Manager and Instagram Ads, experience with Google Ads, Twitter Ads and TikTok Ads, as well as a broad organic social media content development and strategy background, and deep experience with generative AI for content creation. In the past, I’ve run 10-12x ROAS Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns for global sports brands (I led social media for the Boston Celtics and UFC) and have run digital ad campaigns for clients across multiple industries like live event tickets (hockey tournaments, conventions, etc.), DTC/e-commerce, luxury soap, premium pet food (Purina) and pet products, baby furniture, women’s designer clothing, book releases, real estate, designer chocolate, and more. I also have a background in lead generation campaigns and helping marketers understand what their cost per lead should look like on Facebook and Instagram. My work in-house at Facebook provided me with insider insight into effective ads strategies on the platform. I’ve also worked in the paid media space for a pharmaceutical company and the retail media space for Fortune 500 CPGs. I’ve managed monthly budgets of up to $1 million on Facebook, and I can work with any business, including start-ups, wedding photographers, real estate agents, small businesses, restaurants, and e-commerce/Shopify stores, as well as local services businesses (cleaning companies, etc.) who need help with lead generation. Whether you need help with Facebook pixel installation, organizing Facebook Business Manager, lead gen and landing page optimization, or lookalikes and audience retargeting, I can help optimize your ad spend and enhance your tactics. If you just need an extra set of eyes on your account for some pointers, or you need a full-on account audit, I’m your guy. I can also help with Wordpress, Shopify and GoHighLevel integrations with your Meta Ads. I have deep experience with event marketing through Facebook Ads, including professional sports ticket sales, networking, conferences and conventions marketing via Eventbrite, and webinar marketing via Zoom and other platforms. I manage Meta Ads for multiple clients and can manage yours as well. I can also help you design ad creative with generative AI tools for rapid creative testing and iteration, including Gemini, NanoBanana, Claude and more. If you need help in these areas of your social media marketing, Facebook Ads or Instagram marketing, let’s chat.
