I was 15 years-old when I first let my entrepreneurial spirit run the show. Chasing a car and surf sponsor. I put together a business plan, created content, designed some clothes, and called it Manuka. Thanks to Manuka, I bought a car, put a sticker on my surfboard, and had enough money to drive the Northern California coast in search of waves when I wasn’t stuck in class. Then came college and a desire to dive deeper into brand building within the industry I always admired.

Since then I’ve enjoyed a successful marketing career at Surfline, Billabong, Patagonia, and Bragg. My exposure to diverse company sizes, team structures, budgets, roles, and industries has sharpened my acumen in the marketing field and reignited my passion to once again create something of my own.

So 20 years after my first try, I am uniting that entrepreneurial spirit with 13 years of marketing experience to create Keep it Stoked.

In my introductory email to Surfline I used the phrase “Keep it stoked,” as my sign-off. It was a sign of my core identity, ability to be creative, and passion.

While I am not sure it was noticed then, it has been noticed since. Keep it Stoked is my company and ode to who I was then and the values that remain critical to me now.

At Keep it Stoked, I will support your brand marketing with my passion to take off Steep and Deep. I will create the data-driven, unique strategies that drive optimal outcomes.
