Welcome friends!

About Me.
I’m a technologist.
Need more detail?
I’m a Technology-Driven Digital Storyteller, Content Developer, and Small Business Marketing Consultant.
With some twenty years of professional experience in and around technology, I define what being a Gen X-er is all about. By blending common marketing practices with cutting-edge technology solutions, I help businesses to develop their voice and translate it so that others may better understand. Call it branding, call it business marketing, call it human psychology, it makes no difference what you call it. My job is to teach you how to tell others about yourself using the latest and greatest tools and technology available – while keeping things as simple as possible. No small feat in a world gone tech crazy.
If all of that is too wordy for you, I tell stories. Specifically – I tell your business’ story. Through writing, imagery, social media, websites, brands, colors and content – I can help you share the right messages with your target customers to build loyalty and boost sales. Plus, all that technical stuff you don’t understand? I probably do. Some of it at least. From social media engagement best practices to web design, hosting, web development and SEO, I can show you the way to a more technology enabled you. If you aren’t actively promoting your business, you’re probably not seeing the true potential of your business.
I work with small to mid-sized businesses to make their online presence look like a million bucks (but not cost quite as much.) Check out any of the projects below by clicking on them for more details.
Have an awesome project idea in mind?

Rich Collins is an amazingly multi-talented individual. He was absolutely perfect for my right-hand man at the Green Alliance because he was willing to push me when necessary. He is very forward thinking and I would suggest any company would be lucky to have him in their employ. He always went above and beyond, constantly thinking of how we could do things better and then also helping to actually DO those things. As a boss I find there are lots of people with lots of great ideas but do they actually help to implement them? Rich Collins most certainly does. I am grateful for all the hours and quality work he put into the Green Alliance.
