Timeline
After dedicating 10 full years to scouting, I earned the highest rank of Eagle Scout. Determined to prove my ability to lead complex projects from start to finish, I coordinated large-scale community initiatives and managed teams through every challenge. This foundation in disciplined execution and long-term commitment became the cornerstone of how I approach every high-stakes marketing campaign and cross-functional team I lead today.
I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and swiftly advanced to CBRN Defense Chief. Determined to master high-stakes operations, I led training, readiness, and operational planning for more than 400 Marines across multiple units in demanding environments. Leveraging my distinctive leadership skill set, I built standardized systems and maintained mission-critical compliance that directly translate into the precision and accountability I bring to scaling multimillion-dollar marketing operations.
I took charge of marketing and sales for a multimillion-dollar franchise and swiftly ascended despite being notably younger than my peers. Determined to drive real growth, I orchestrated a complete brand overhaul and launched a targeted SEO strategy. This delivered a 75 percent increase in inbound leads year-over-year, a 30 percent improvement in close rates, and top-three Google rankings for nearly 90 percent of our key terms.
launched Barad Marketing Solutions from the ground up and scaled it into a full-service digital agency. Determined to tie every initiative to revenue, I managed more than 10 million dollars in annual ad spend across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn while building and leading a team of 10 to 12 specialists. Leveraging my distinctive skill set, I achieved 95 percent client retention by consistently delivering measurable ROI and strategic growth.
I immersed myself in building production-grade AI systems using Python, n8n, OpenAI, and Claude. Determined to create scalable growth engines, I designed and deployed seven fully integrated tools that cut prospecting time by 80 percent, tripled content output, and automated lead scoring and routing. These systems delivered always-on performance that consistently outperformed industry benchmarks for every client.
I successfully scaled and exited Barad Marketing Solutions through acquisition. Determined to prove the full value of revenue-first marketing, I orchestrated dramatic turnarounds including a 13.26x ROAS improvement, an 82 percent reduction in ad costs, and well over 50 million dollars generated in e-commerce sales. This exit marked the culmination of 13 years of building high-impact, results-driven marketing operations from launch to acquisition.
