How I Got Here

I've spent the last decade in SEO. I've built brands from scratch, grown sites to millions of visits per year, and led organic acquisition at scale. As VP of SEO for a large home services company, I was responsible for generating over 7 million leads across HVAC, pest control, solar, and home warranty.

What I Saw

In that role, I worked alongside agencies—and saw how most of them operated. They locked clients into long contracts. Built on proprietary platforms so you couldn't leave. Charged premium fees for cookie-cutter playbooks. Treated every client the same regardless of market or goals.

The Real Problem

Most agencies aren't strategic. They don't advise on business decisions. They don't understand your market, your seasonality, or your margins. They just run the same playbook and collect their fee. Order takers, not partners.

Why Ductwork?

I started Ductwork to do it differently. One vertical. One client per market. Actual strategy—not just execution. No lock-ins. No junior AMs. Just results.

Things I Stand By

Transparency over spin

"You should know exactly where your money goes. No hidden fees. No black-box reporting."

Ownership over dependency

"Your website, your data, your rankings. If we stop working together, you keep everything."

Results over activity

"I don't measure success in blogs posted or emails sent. I measure it in leads and installs booked."
