CEO, Open Eye Media
Tell us about your work and what excites you most about it.
We are a white-label marketing agency that focuses on teaching our clients how to compete in a modern digital landscape instead of trying to turn them into subscribers who are dependent on us. The goal is empowering small business owners and individuals to champion themselves and shine a light on the amazing people of this city and the institutions they have built.
What’s an accomplishment you’re especially proud of?
Are you kidding!? Oxford’s Top 20 Under 40!!!
Since moving to this town I have come to know that the warm, welcoming communities you see on TV actually exist, and Oxford is proof.
I have been featured in Men’s Insider and other news outlets, given keynotes for organizations like DECA, won DoD Innovation Awards, and explored the world’s oceans. But finding a place as magical as Oxford and being accepted here tops it all.
How has Oxford influenced your journey, and how do you hope to give back?
Oxford has made me feel like I have a hometown I never knew existed. The kindness and warmth found in every brick of this city inspires the desire to do right by your neighbor, smile at every person you walk by, and feel connected to something not only bigger than yourself but truly a place of goodness. I want to do everything I can to sing the praises of the local businesses and the people who make it all possible so that the whole world sees the magic of this place the way I do.
How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
Walking my two dogs with my beautiful fiancée, playing disc golf, attempting to grill the perfect steak, or enjoying a night out with friends.
I am also the Vice Commander for American Legion Gaming (Post 1337) and the Director of Development for the One Man One Mic Foundation, both of which are focused on helping veterans connect and share their stories.
