Hi, I'm Gene.
I'm a growth marketer, builder, husband, dad of two, traveler, woodworker and Jeep guy.
Growth marketer and builder in Savannah, Georgia. Husband, dad of two, and someone who has never been able to stop building things.
Fourteen years of getting people to say yes.
I have spent 14 years in marketing and paid media. Today I am a growth marketer at a marketing software company for physical therapy clinics, where I run the paid ads and build the tools the marketing team runs on.
When I need a skill I do not have, I learn it myself instead of handing it off. That is how one person ends up able to run the ads and build the thing the ads point to.
Family comes first.
I have been married to my wife since 2015, and we have a daughter and a son. I work from home, so the end of my workday is walking out of the office to two kids who want my attention.
That shapes how I work. I build things that keep running without me babysitting them, so the time I have goes where it matters.
Presence beats perfection.
Twelve countries, three continents, one travel partner.
My wife and I have collected these together. Pick a stamp.
Japan
Precision, culture, and food worth obsessing over.
What I do when I'm not building for clients.
Outdoors and fitness
Running, biking and getting outside. I drive a Jeep Wrangler, my dream car since I was a little kid.
Building by hand
Woodworking. Same itch as the business side, just with wood.
Gaming
I grew up gaming. It taught me strategy and quick decisions.
Anime and movies
Good stories, the kind that stay with you after the credits.
A few things I live by.
- Always give thanks to God, and stay grateful.
- Always be building something.
- Keep learning. The man who stops learning stops growing.
- Time matters more than stuff.
