What you should know about me.
Three Crowns is a solo marketing strategy practice built on a deliberate choice.
I work with a limited number of leaders because real strategy requires strict attention, close listening, and saying the thing in the room that no one else wants to say.
If you’re looking for volume, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for clarity, keep reading.
The Story of Three Crowns
Three Crowns is built on years of tested experience and one simple belief: clear thinking
drives growth.

Bio:
I started my career as a high school English teacher. Teaching teenagers forces you to pause and listen. You learn quickly that writing isn't the hard part; the hard part is being confident in what you think.
That lesson followed me into financial marketing. I moved from content roles at Orion Advisor Services to leading content at Mineral Interactive, an RIA-focused agency. In 2018, I launched Three Crowns because I wanted to build a different kind of practice. One grounded in judgment and focus, not production volume.
Over the years, I’ve worked with fintech innovators, award-winning advisory firms, and nonprofits navigating growth. I’ve seen what happens when companies default to activity instead of intention.
My work is about slowing that down.
I listen carefully, challenge assumptions, and help leaders define a position they can defend and a strategy they can commit to.
More than anything, I’m passionate about working with values-driven businesses who refuse to flatten themselves to fit an industry mold. Success shouldn’t require self-erasure.
I live in Omaha with my wife, three kids, and a rambunctious Aussie Doodle. Outside of work, I write poetry, play guitar, and plan (slightly overly ambitious) outdoor family adventures.
