ABOUT
Hi, I'm Chase.
I build and manage websites for small businesses across North Carolina.
My day job is running brand & marketing for a global technology company. Campaigns, email, events, content strategy; I've been doing this full time for most of my career, with experience reaching audiences across the globe.
I grew up outside Charlotte, went to school in Boone, and lived along the coast. I've lived in both South Carolina, and Washington D.C., and eventually chose to plant roots here in Warren County. This area, and this state, matters to me.
HOW I GOT HERE
Where it started
Learning what marketing actually is
I ran social media for the university, built analytics reports for university officials, and led a rebrand of the admissions department's online presence. I also worked as an admissions counselor, presenting to prospective students and their families. That's where I learned what marketing really is: telling a story clearly enough that someone feels something before they've walked through the door. My degree is in Computer Information Systems, so I understand how digital tools are built and how to make them work together.
On the ground
Learning how local businesses actually operate
I started as a Field Sales and Marketing Rep covering 10 storefronts across eastern North Carolina, building relationships with store partners and shaping the customer experience in person. Within 8 months I was promoted, in part because I built an internal tool that made field operations faster. That moved me to RYOBI's digital marketing team, working on email programs, content, and campaign strategy at scale.
People Brand in tech
Enterprise marketing, applied locally
For the past four years I've run campaigns, email, events, and content in the tech industry. My current focus is brand and communications work that shapes how people experience a company, plus the marketing automation that keeps it running. The scale is different here. The instincts are the same: clear messaging, a consistent presence, and showing up where it matters.
MY WEBSITE PHILOSOPHY
Your website should feel like walking into your business.
Most small businesses I talk to either don't have a website or have one that hasn't been touched in many years.
That's not a knock on anyone. Running the place is already your whole job, and a website is one more thing on a list that never gets shorter. But when someone searches for you, what they find is the first impression they get, and it should feel like the real thing.
The businesses in this state have something worth showing. The room, the food, the work, the people behind the counter. A good site doesn't need to be clever. It needs to load fast, work on a phone, say what you do, and give someone that same feeling they'd get walking in.
Then it needs someone to actually keep it up, so it stays current instead of slowly falling out of date.
That's the job: A site that fits your business, and stays relevant as time passes.
Built to be found
Every site gets your Google Business Profile connected and set up right, plus the technical groundwork so search engines and AI assistants can find you and recommend you.
Real photos, not stock
Your space and your product should be what people see. There's a flood of AI-generated graphics and stock imagery filling up local business pages, and customers feel the difference even when they can't name it. I can shoot on site as an add-on, or work with photos you already have.
AI as a tool, not a shortcut
I use AI daily for drafting, research, and moving faster on the operational side. It has a real place in an efficient workflow. It doesn't replace knowing your business or showing up in person.
NC Clients Only
Small businesses across the state, from main streets to mountain towns. I keep my client list intentionally small and focused.
Available in person
In person across the Triangle and eastern NC, and on video everywhere else. When it makes sense, I'll walk your space and shoot real content on site.
Invested in this state
North Carolina isn't just where I work. It's where I grew up, went to school, and chose to stay. I know what a local business means to the town around it, because I live in one.
WHY WARREN COUNTY
Local isn’t a selling point.
It’s the whole point.
I was born and raised in North Carolina, and I've built my career and my life here. I started with small businesses in my own town of Warrenton, and I bring that same approach to businesses across the state: showing up in person when I can, understanding the community you serve, and building something that actually fits where you are.
If we work together, you're not emailing a team in another state. You're working with someone who knows these towns, drives these roads, and wants to see North Carolina's small businesses thrive.
OUTSIDE OF WORK
I've been with my fiancé Tyler for almost six years. We're pretty spontaneous — a random hike, a bike ride, a last-minute cruise, or a flight out to Nevada to visit family. When we're home, you'll find us downtown or out on the sailboat.
Our Irish Setter, Boone, comes most places with us. He's made his feelings about the boat very clear, and we've all agreed to respect that.
