Co-Founder of Lunar Solar Group and Retextion. Love to talk all things retention and subscription.
People thought I was crazy when I quit Google to join a $14K marketing boot camp. But I wanted to learn about all marketing channels, not just Google. I then worked with several startups as a growth marketer before launching GR0, my own SEO agency. Simultaneously, I launched a grammar website, thewordcounter.com, to prove my strategies work. A year later, the site ranks #1 on Google Search for multiple keywords and gets 500,000 unique visitors a month. I live and breathe startup culture and work every day to help fellow underdogs. My top priority is to help pay my success forward, investing in and enabling small companies to grow and find the good fortune.
