I didn’t grow up around entrepreneurs. I grew up around people who worked hard, punched clocks, and climbed the ladder one rung at a time. That was the system. You went to work, did your job, and hoped for a raise after a few years.
At school, I was bored. When I was creating, I was lit up. That was always the difference.
From early on, I wasn’t trying to climb someone else’s ladder. I wanted to build the thing.
Here’s how it all started and where it’s taken me.
1. Parody Websites and T-Shirts in High School
While everyone else was trying to stay awake in chemistry, I was teaching myself HTML and CSS to build parody websites. One ripped on the school newspaper. Another took a jab at a cheesy corporate shill site we had to “study” in class. Probably got me on a few watch lists.
At the same time, I was designing t-shirts and pressing iron-ons in my bedroom. I’d hand them out like campaign materials. Custom designs, school jokes, inside references. It wasn’t about starting a business. I just wanted to make something and see what happened when I shared it.
That’s when I realized how powerful content and creativity could be.
2. The Early Podcasting Days
Before podcasting became a business model, I was running a long-form show out of my living room. We used a mixer, three PCs, and just enough duct tape to hold it all together. The conversations were raw, the community was real, and somehow we kept it going for nearly 10 years.
That show taught me how to build trust with an audience and how to lead a conversation that doesn’t feel scripted. Those lessons show up now when I help clients build their brand voice, run interviews, or launch digital content. It’s about consistency. It’s about showing up. It’s about being real.
3. Freelance Marketing While Holding Down a 9 to 5
For years, I was working full-time corporate while building brands on the side. Nights and weekends, I was building websites, designing marketing collateral, running email campaigns, and writing ad copy. Not because I had to, but because I couldn’t not do it.
This is when I started getting my first real results for clients. Landing pages that converted, ads that pulled in leads, websites that helped people sell. Not fluff. Results.
I started documenting what worked and turning it into systems. That foundation became what we now offer clients at ManyResults. Websites that convert, funnels that close, content that builds momentum.
4. Breaking the System and Launching the Agency
Eventually, it hit me. I couldn’t keep one foot in and one foot out. I was done playing by someone else’s roadmap. So we launched ManyResults.
From day one, our model was different. We weren’t trying to be a bloated agency. We were focused, strategic, lean. Real deliverables, not presentations. We started with websites and content, expanded into social and paid, and built a suite of systems that we now use across all of our clients.
A few wins from the field:
- Helped a landscaping company increase quote requests by 84% in 60 days
- Rebuilt a therapist’s site and funnel to fill her calendar in under 3 weeks
- Generated 1,200 leads from a single lead magnet for a regional event
Those aren’t stats from a dashboard. That’s real traction for real businesses.
5. Still Building, Still Testing
To this day, I make something new every month. A playbook. A mini-brand. A new service. A podcast. A workshop. Part of it’s habit. Part of it’s joy. But the biggest reason? So I can stay sharp and pass it on to the clients we serve.
This isn’t just a business. It’s my operating system.
Levittown raised me. Corporate gave me structure. But entrepreneurship gave me the room to build something that actually matters.
