About


Hey, I'm Dan. I typically spend my days buried in a booth at a local coffee shop. Ideas flow best with a cup of coffee in one hand and a bagel in the other.

I'm a scrappy marketing partner for early-stage startups.

Most founders I work with already have strong ideas, strong products, and smart conversations happening every day. The problem is those ideas never show up in the market clearly or consistently.

I help fix that by interviewing founders and leadership teams and turning those conversations into content.

I record focused interviews, then chop them up into short video clips, LinkedIn posts, articles, and newsletters that explain what you're building, who it's for, and why it matters.

One good conversation can turn into a month of content.

Every piece has a job.

Some content builds clarity.
Some builds trust.
Some quietly nudges the right people to raise their hand.

Then we publish consistently across your channels, watch what actually lands, and keep doubling down on what works.

Over time, your message gets sharper, your presence compounds, and people stop asking, "Wait… what do you guys do?"


I know what you’re thinking...

“Can I really trust this guy?” 

Fair question.

If I'm supposed to convince you of my mad, moolah-making skills as a marketer, I should really offer up some kind of proof (aside from this hilarious letter, obviously).

Because whenever you read anything from a marketer, you should probably go into "suspicious" mode…

 

Yeah, just like that.

"Is he using some of those crazy persuasion tactics marketers use to trick me into hiring him?" you might wonder. In the spirit of honesty, I am.

But don’t take my word for it.

Here’s what some past clients might say if I did a better job of badgering people for testimonials: 

"Dan took our About Us page from corporate snoozefest to actually worth reading. Hired." — Probably a SaaS founder

"He rewrote our email funnel and suddenly people started buying. Weird. Highly recommend." — Probably an ecom brand

"If content marketers were Avengers, this one’s Tony Stark." — Mike 

Mike's a smart guy. He reads TechCrunch at least 4x a day. 

Still skeptical? Here are a few wins.

  • Built a 20k+ LinkedIn following and generated 46,841 impressions in one year by creating engaging, shareable content
  • Grew a Career Advice Newsletter to 6,000+ subscribers with a 47% open rate
  • Conducted 250+ interviews with industry leaders to increase a SaaS platform adoption by 45% in 6 months
  • Produced 300+ articles for Zenefits, averaging 4K site visits, 500 backlinks, and 45 social shares
  • Doubled the conversion rate on Investopedia's CPC ad campaigns by rewriting the ad copy
  • Wrote articles for Indie Hackers that averaged 3,000+ views each, boosting community engagement

I've worked with brands like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Foundr, Indie Hackers, Google, Healthline, Investopedia, YFS Magazine, Military.com, Fatherly, Quality Digest, Zenefits, TinyPulse, Hourly, SAP, Pavilion, Hone Health, The Association for Talent Development, and more.

I’ve also served as a marketing mentor through programs like the UCCS Scale to $1M Bootcamp, RMMFI, and MicroMentor.

Talk is cheap. Here's more proof.

Khaki → Built a creator-led growth engine that turned writers into advocates

ConvertKit → Scaled creator monetization and improved ad performance

BOMCOM → Launched and managed the company’s first community from zero

LinkedIn → Built a 20k+ following through consistent founder-led content

Email → Grew an email list to 6k+ engaged subscribers

I work best with:

  • VC-backed startups
  • Pre-seed → Series A
  • Lean teams moving fast
  • Founders who need clarity + execution
  • Companies with a good product but confusing messaging
  • Teams who want results, not runaround

If that sounds like you, let's talk.

No pressure. No nonsense.

Just a simple conversation to see if I can help.

And if nothing else, you'll at least walk away with one or two insights you can use immediately.

Talk soon,

-Dan
