Turning Clicks Into Customers

I'm a search marketing specialist passionate about building high-performing campaigns that deliver measurable business results.

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, I've spent the last decade managing in-house paid search programs for major brands. I specialize in audience targeting strategy, iterative testing, and multi-channel attribution—all focused on one goal: driving profitable customer acquisition.

I recently spent 11 years at Newfold Digital, where I owned the paid search program for top web hosting brands including Bluehost, Network Solutions, and HostGator. I'm now seeking my next opportunity to bring proven expertise to a dynamic technology company.

"I believe there are four main components that need to be optimized in every high-performing paid search campaign: targeting, messaging, bidding, and attribution."

Four Pillars of Paid Search Excellence

🎯

Targeting

Prioritize budget on queries with proven conversion history. Leverage location, device, and audience data to structure campaigns so budget flows to the most successful cohorts.

  • Query Mining
  • Audience Segmentation
  • PMAX Optimization
✍️

Messaging

Develop a full backlog of headlines and descriptions, then incrementally replace worst-performing copy weekly to ensure fresh messaging is always being tested.

  • A/B Testing
  • Ad Copy Creation
  • Landing Page Optimization
📊

Bidding

Successfully implement tCPA and tROAS bid strategies. Design bidding portfolios ensuring conversion minimums are met while maintaining efficiency targets.

  • Smart Bidding
  • Portfolio Strategy
  • Budget Pacing
📈

Attribution

Compare engine data to financial source of truth. Troubleshoot tracking, calculate conversion gaps, and weight conversions so CPA targets align with internal data.

  • Pixel Implementation
  • Multi-Touch Attribution
  • Incrementality Testing
