Stop Ad Spend Waste. Scale What Actually Converts.

Based in Los Angeles, I spent the last 17 years helping build a boutique Google Premier Partner agency, scaling from Specialist to VP. As the agency grew into a full-service firm, my focus never wavered from my core craft: mastering Google Ads. Now, I consult independently to get back to the work I love—direct, hands-on campaign execution to protect your margins.

How I Help

Precision over volume. Execution over theory.

I focus on fixing leaks and structuring accounts to actually scale profitably in the AI era. Here are three ways we can work together.

PPC Profit & Waste Audit

A deep-dive diagnostic into your search terms, bidding logic, and tracking gaps. I find the exact places where your budget is bleeding and provide a prioritized fix roadmap.

  • Search term hygiene check
  • PMax & Feed architecture review
  • Flat fee, fast turnaround

Hands-On Management

Complete day-to-day optimization. I take over the account completely so you can focus on closing the leads or shipping the product, not troubleshooting the algorithms.

  • Daily bid and budget ops
  • Conversion data structuring
  • Monthly strategic reviews

Fractional Agency Support

Senior media buying capacity for scaling agencies. I act as an invisible, white-labeled extension of your fulfillment team to retain your highest-tier clients.

  • Plug into existing workflows
  • Churn-risk account triage
  • Predictable contractor rates

The Return to the Craft.

For 17 years, I helped build the client services delivery for a boutique PPC firm that became a Google Premier Partner. We eventually expanded into a full-service agency. I loved the people, and I’m proud of what we built. But success in the agency world comes with a paradox: the better you are at the actual work, the faster you are promoted away from it.

As our offerings broadened, my days filled up with capacity planning and operational overhead. I lost the very thing that made me love this industry in the first place: the hands-on management of Google Ads and the direct connection with the business owners I was helping. Now, I'm back in the trenches, working directly with you.
