A partner who’s been there

I’ve spent 25 years guiding corporate marketing teams, and the leaders behind them, through inflection points. Most of my clients sit where regional traction has turned into national ambition… and Marketing still looks like it did three years ago.

They’re dealing with cracks in the system. Fire drills on repeat. Sales pushing for “more qualified” leads. An unstable marketing budget. And under-resourced team. And somehow, it’s all supposed to scale.

That’s where I come in.

I bring structure, clarity, and calm to help you lead the leap with confidence. Whether we’re fixing the foundation, aligning teams, or designing a roadmap for national growth, I work alongside you to get the right things moving faster.

Founder, Chief Trestle Officer

Strategy is the bridge

And structure is what gets you across.

The idea for Trestle came to me deep in the woods, gravel riding across a century-old railway bridge. It was built to span a chasm others couldn’t cross and that’s what I help Marketing leaders do.

Your company has an ambition. You know where you want to go.

My work is about empowering you to build the strategic infrastructure underneath it, so your team, and your leadership, can move forward without carrying the whole weight alone.

Here’s how I help you get there:

  • Short-cut to the clearest path forward
  • Translate ambition into structure
  • Shift you out of reaction mode

When I’m not untangling growth challenges, you’ll find me outside, usually mid-adventure, where the next trailhead offers just enough complexity to keep it interesting.
