Hey, I’m Austin.
I'm the hands-on marketing, strategy and communications person for small businesses and nonprofits. You get a real human doing the work, without hiring a full team.
I work best with
Small businesses and nonprofits that want:
Hands-on human talent. Someone in the work with you, not a dashboard.
Room to scale. Grow capacity without committing to an internal team.

Lately I’ve Been Thinking:
What do we do when everything becomes automated?
Each and every one of us has unique “God given” skills, talents, and abilities. When those shine, we can come together and solve problems, naturally. Powerfully.
