About
Not the lead singer of Korn.
I’m a content marketing manager in Atlanta with 15+ years of experience in SEO, editorial strategy, and content production for B2B companies.
I’m the Senior Content Marketing Manager at OnPay, where I lead content for a payroll, HR, and benefits platform built for very small businesses. I joined in January 2022 and was promoted in June 2023. Before that, I spent nine years at Cushing in Chicago, running SEO, inbound marketing, and lead generation.
Outside work, I’m a husband, father, guitar player, runner, reader, and avid music fan. And yes, people have told me I look like Ben Stiller.
How I work
Search first
Start with what people actually ask
I use Search Console data to find conversational queries, then build content around them.
Accuracy
Get experts to check the work
Tax and compliance content is reviewed by a network of 10+ CPAs and business advisors that I recruited and manage.
Follow-through
Own it from brief to published page
I write the brief and the copy, direct the design, finish it in Figma, and build the page in WordPress.
