HIGH-VOLTAGE MARKETING POWERING DATA-DRIVEN RESULTS
HIGH-VOLTAGE MARKETING POWERING DATA-DRIVEN RESULTS
After 7+ years managing $350K+ in annual ad spend and driving 275% revenue growth for a national company, I saw the same story play out over and over: small business owners getting burned by agencies that overpromised, underdelivered, and disappeared behind layers of account managers the moment contracts were signed.
They deserved better. You deserve better.
That’s why I built Thunderstrike Marketing right here in Safety Harbor, Florida — on a different model entirely. One where my success depends completely on yours.
No corporate overhead to feed.
No junior staff learning on your dime.
No 12-month contracts locking you in regardless of results.
Just a direct line to the person doing the work, with pricing that starts fair because I’m betting on delivering results worth significantly more.
When you grow, I grow. That’s real partnership.
I never worked for an agency. Never learned their bad habits.
Instead, I spent 7+ years providing a wide range of digital marketing services as Director of Marketing & eCommerce Strategy for a leading national flooring wholesaler, managing real budgets with real consequences. That’s where I learned what actually moves the needle — and what’s just expensive noise.
The credentials:
But here’s what really sets me apart: I was also a championship-winning baseball coach at the high school and collegiate levels.
Some of the best memories of my life.
That background shapes everything about how I approach client work.
I‘m not here to participate.
I’m here to win.
And I want my clients to win just as badly as they do.
These days, you’ll find me in Safety Harbor with my family — probably at Philippe Park with our rescue pups Rey and Leia, or cheering on the Lightning at Amalie… errr, Benchmark International Arena.
I’m a widow maker heart attack survivor (glory to God!), which taught me that life’s too short to work with people who don’t share your values.
That’s why I only take on clients I genuinely believe I can help. And why I work month-to-month — if I’m not delivering, you shouldn’t be stuck with me.
Your success is my whole business model.
That’s not a tagline.
It’s how my family eats.
Big marketing firms sell you the dream. I deliver the reality.
I compete against traditional marketing consulting firms every week. Here’s what I hear from businesses who chose to work with me instead:
Need healthy profit to support account managers, sales teams, fancy offices.
Account managers who barely understand your business. Layers between you and decisions.
12-month commitments. Stuck paying even when results disappoint.
Entire departments for tasks. Overhead costs passed to you.
Top 10% results because that's how I earn your continued business. Your success is the only metric that sustains my business model.
No layers. When you have a question at 9pm, you text me. When something needs changing, we change it.
Month-to-month accountability. If I'm not performing, you shouldn't be stuck with me. That pressure keeps me sharp.
Automated what agencies staff teams for. Faster execution, lower overhead, better pricing—without sacrificing quality.
For small businesses between $1M-$10M+ revenue who want a partner invested in their growth — not a vendor extracting margin — that difference matters.
These aren’t manufactured testimonials from anonymous reviewers. These are real business owners who chose partnership over agency overhead:
Choosing a marketing partner is a significant decision. Here are the questions I hear most from Tampa Bay business owners evaluating whether Thunderstrike is the right fit:
Most solo consultants are generalists who dabble.
I spent 7+ years as Director of Marketing & eCommerce Strategy managing $350K+ in annual ppc campaign ad spend and exhaustive search engine optimization for a national company.
That’s enterprise-level experience without the enterprise overhead.
I also invest heavily in AI automation — the same tools and workflows that let large agencies scale. That means you get the efficiency of a system, not just someone winging it project to project.
And critically: I’m economically aligned with your results.
My business model depends on delivering outcomes worth your continued investment.
That’s a different incentive structure than consultants billing hourly regardless of results.
Because my one-person operation has delivered 275% growth results that most agencies can’t match.
You’re not paying for layers of account managers and overhead—you’re paying for the person who actually does the work.
And that person’s whole business model depends on your results, not on selling you the next retainer.
I break down the full comparison — pricing, accountability, who does the work — in this guide to agencies vs. consultants.
I’ve delivered results for businesses ranging from local service companies to $50M national retailers—across financial services, medical equipment, transportation, e-commerce, flooring, and professional services.
The common thread isn’t industry or revenue—it’s growth-minded owners who are frustrated with agencies and want a partner invested in their outcomes.
Absolutely.
While I’m based in Safety Harbor and many of my clients are Tampa Bay businesses, I work with companies across the country.
Digital marketing doesn’t require geographic proximity—it requires expertise, communication, and results.
Local businesses get the advantage of someone who understands their market.
Remote clients get the same level of attention and the same results-focused partnership.
That depends on your preference.
Some clients want weekly check-ins and collaborative strategy sessions.
Others prefer to hand off the work completely and review monthly performance reports.
Either way, you’ll always have direct access to me—not an account manager or support ticket system.
When you text, I respond.
When something needs changing, we change it.
My job is to make marketing one less thing you have to worry about while running your business.
After all, you’re busy enough with that as it is.
Every service is available month-to-month.
No contracts locking you in.
That said, most clients choose quarterly or annual partnership agreements to take advantage of price discounts—not because they’re locked in, but because results justify the commitment.
If you’re ever unsatisfied, we part ways professionally. I’ll provide a complete handoff of everything I built—your website, your campaigns, your data, your logins.
You own it all.
That’s the confidence I have in my work: I don’t need legal retention. I earn your business every month by delivering results.
Many of my clients started with a free Google Ads audit to see if I could help them.
If you’re running any ppc campaigns, it’s a no-obligation way to see if I’m the right fit for your small business.
Most of my long-term client relationships are under NDA.
When you’re managing marketing for businesses in competitive industries—financial services, medical, transportation, national retail—they don’t want competitors knowing who’s behind their campaigns.
The clients who can talk publicly are thrilled to do so.
But the majority of my work happens quietly, behind the scenes, for businesses that prefer results over publicity.
That’s also why I lead with verifiable performance data—screenshots of actual campaign results, specific metrics, named case studies where clients have given permission.
Numbers don’t need NDAs.
I got tired of websites that make you dig through five pages just to find a straight answer.
So I built Bolt—the chatbot widget you’ll see on every page of this site.
It’s not AI-powered or flashy. It’s just a decision-tree bot loaded with my services, pricing, and availability.
Ask it what I do, what it costs, or when I can meet.
It answers immediately. No waiting for business hours. No hunting through dropdown menus.
Here’s the thinking: if you’re browsing this site at 11 PM on a Wednesday, you shouldn’t have to wait until Thursday morning to find out if I can help you. Bolt gives you what you need, when you need it.
That same efficiency—getting you answers faster without the overhead—is how I run client campaigns.
The tool itself is simple.
The principle behind it matters more.
When you're choosing a marketing partner, you're really choosing a business model — not just a service provider.
You can hire an agency that needs to extract margin to feed their corporate structure.
Or you can partner with someone whose business model depends entirely on delivering results worth your continued investment.
I chose the second model because I believe in betting on myself.
Schedule a free 30-minute strategy session. We’ll review your current marketing, discuss your growth goals, and see if Thunderstrike makes sense for your Tampa Bay business.
No sales pressure. No obligation. Just honest conversation about what’s possible when you work with someone who’s as obsessed with your success as you are.
