Philosophy

I finished a PhD in philosophy and religious studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 2018, and taught Introduction to Philosophy at Moody Bible Institute from 2015 to 2017, where I also worked as an acquisitions editor for Moody Publishers. I wrote for Desiring God, and in 2021 published The Trauma of Doctrine, on what belief systems do to the people who live inside them.

Marketing, then systems

Alongside and after the academy I ran marketing — for CCEF, then as marketing director at Tithe.ly and at Neuros Agency, where the team grew from three to ten in a year.

Neuros is a marketing and software agency in north San Diego County. We ran performance campaigns, and more and more of the work came from acquisitions: software due diligence on the target, then ripping out and replacing the CRM once the deal closed. That is where I learned the systems underneath marketing — CRM architecture, integrations, and the code that holds them together. I became a full-stack developer building on the HubSpot API, and later ran CRM and automation engineering at Galactic Advisors.

RevOps HQ

Since 2025 I have run RevOps HQ, a HubSpot Solutions Partner. Most of the work is for private equity: diligence on a target's revenue systems before the deal, then after it, consolidating CRMs across the portfolio and building the reporting a board and operating partners can trust. We also work with venture-backed and founder-led companies getting ready to scale or sell.
