From Passion to Powerhouse:
MY Inspirational Journey of Igniting Success
Born into poverty and exposed to rampant violence in the projects of Birmingham, Alabama, my path seemed destined for struggle.
But I dubbed my new home in NW Florida "LA," Lower Alabama, as a playful nod to its uniqueness. After graduating with a degree in management information systems from Florida State University, I moved to Atlanta where I started my consulting career at Arthur Andersen.
Despite achieving success as a technology consultant, I yearned for more—I craved a family of my own. The Decision was made. It was time.
Fueled by a relentless desire for change, I fearlessly launched TechSparq, charting a new course in Portland, Oregon, where I now reside with my beloved wife and three children.
Every day, as I embrace my youngest after school and feel her genuine, bear-hug love, I'm reminded of the boundless excitement children have for their parents. It's a testament to the joy and fulfillment we can find amidst life's chaos.
As I settled into my new life in Portland, my agency soared to new heights, forging a trail at the forefront of e-commerce's evolution. For nearly 24 years, I've been the orchestrator of countless online transactions, wielding chaos as an opportunity to transcend boundaries and lead the charge in the retail world.
When said chaos strikes, revenue strategies crumble, and projects teeter on the edge of failure, businesses turn to me. Failure is not an option; it's the catalyst that ignites my unwavering determination to overcome any obstacle.
I’ve been featured in Forbes, Yahoo!, NBC, CBS, Metavertising podcast, Portland Business Journal, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud Innovations podcast.
Now, it's time to partner with you, unleash your power within, and propel you to unprecedented success, defying the odds every step of the way.
