Work Experience

Heaps LLC

Executive Director

As the co-founder and Executive Director of Heaps LLC, my wife and I are partners running a small service group out of Austin, Texas with clients reaching around the globe. From Dell, to Polycom, to Google, to local startups, our goal is to be the scalability solution and resource client-partners need to find both the best content strategy and execution they desire. With services spanning from content to asset creation, we specialize in developing systems that support communications, brand, presentations, social media, and more. Everyone here wears many hats, and with our small team we have built a group of specialists that collectively have nearly 100 years of experience in media, design, creative direction, and business systems. My job is to make sure we meet our promise to client-partners whether that is through assets I produce myself, or in the management of others that work with us for our client partners.
