Twenty-five years in, still building.
I’m a marketing and business development exec with 25 years across sports, entertainment, small business and commercial real estate. Today I’m Vice President of Retail Marketing at Lewis Retail Centers, where I lead marketing for our properties across California and Nevada.
I’ve been a builder my whole career. I taught myself to build websites and turned it into my first business. Lee & Associates hired me to build their first website. At the malls I built sponsorship programs where none existed. At AEG I built a premium seating business from nothing. At the PGA Tour I grew sales into new territory. And at Lewis, retail marketing was one page on the corporate website. Now it’s a brand of its own.
These days I write about marketing, trends and whatever catches my eye. I’m also working out how AI can make marketing simpler and faster. I live in Southern California with my wife Sarah and our three small dogs.
