About

15+ years client-facing. A decade deep in organic search.

I help brands scale by blending deep technical SEO with advanced Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). After successfully managing a portfolio of 30+ clients simultaneously, I focus on future-proofing organic visibility — ensuring brands don't just rank on traditional SERPs, but are actively recommended by AI discovery engines, LLMs, and conversational search platforms.

Day to day, that means living inside tools like the Hermes Agent and OpenClaw for AEO/GEO visibility tracking, and pairing Claude and Claude Code with Python to ship technical SEO automation at agency scale.

Before transitioning into digital marketing, I served in the United States Army infantry. The discipline, leadership, and resilience I built during my service directly inform my strategic approach today — a mission-focused, business-minded mindset that turns AI disruption into a competitive advantage.
