About Me in 10 Seconds
What's up? I'm Nathan, an award-winning Growth Marketing Strategist.
I combined my background in electrical engineering with digital marketing to create unique marketing solutions for many companies. You can think of me as your personal growth marketing engineer.
Over the past 15 years, I've led strategy and marketing for high-growth companies. I believe marketing is about telling a consistent story to help people change for the better and get the desired results.
Once I understood this, it became clear that good marketing is vital to success.
Everything is Marketing, and Marketing is Everything.
