Hi, I’m Daniel.
First of all, thank you SO much for visiting my website! I feel honored that you’re taking the time to learn more about me and my passions in life. I’m a multi-dimensional guy, which means there are two primary parts that define who I am. The “professional me” and the “personal me”. You can learn a bit more about each below.

Marketing
By day, I lead a MarTech team for a $7B health system. I've learned a thing or two about marketing and I have a few opinions I'd like to share.
I’m an IT and Digital Marketing Leader.
I am a data-driven leader with a proven ability to get things done and the long-term vision to inspire and grow productive teams. Builder of bridges, agile communicator, passionate technophile and dedicated healthcare marketing & technology thought leader, I span the gap between technology and marketing – a place where so many organizations struggle to realize success.
Starting with a tenure at my first digital agency, Lightmaker, and since 2013, I’ve focused my career on the intersections of Marketing and Technology.
Skills I’ve honed over the past 20 years include the following:
- Comprehensive, Large-Scale Digital Strategy
- Project Management & Implementations
- Roadmapping and Strategic Planning
- Usability Analysis & Audits
- e-Commerce & Landing Page Optimization
- Social Media Strategy & Execution
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Best Practices
I’m a Husband, Father, Gamer and Traveler.
