My goal was always to run my own successful business, and in 2003, I got my chance to use my experience to help my first business (Preston Wynne Day Spa in Saratoga, CA) with their digital marketing challenges. Preston Wynne remained at the #1 spot through 2020, even after selling her business in 2014: a testimony to the staying power of great SEO.
Boomcycle Digital Marketing was born! I quickly tapped a few local tech friends for their unique skillsets, and we began helping businesses in the LA area, including a fruit flavorings company, an AirBnB for pets, a veterinarian, more day spas. I also built one of the first SaaS products, a gift certificate sales system.
In 2012, I got the chance to do some work with a charity that provided live music to sick kids, and fell in love with the idea of bringing live music to hospitals and healthcare facilities. In 2019, I founded my own hospital and hospice music charity 501c3, Harmony & Healing. The charity now provides musicians to a number of Bay Area hospices and hospitals, as well as a few remote situations via Zoom.
I moved back to beautiful San Francisco Bay Area in 2014 to marry the most wonderful woman in the world, and never looked back.
Boomcycle has grown by leaps and bounds, and has helped a variety of businesses, including plastic surgery centers, local music stores, medical services providers and medical spas, real estate agencies, custom software developers, a retail signage manufacturer & designer, big data health analytics, nonprofits, a bicycle shop, a cancer charity, a local animal shelter, and even a famous haunted house!
I guess you could say that I like to stay busy.
