The Bluleadz Team

I live and breathe Inbound Marketing. I drank the Kool-aid many years ago and never looked back. I have a passion for helping companies grow their businesses online. I love sales and marketing and getting out on the golf course whenever I can. I'm a huge family man that loves building tree houses, baseball and going to recitals.

I have been working with Bluleadz in one capacity or another since 2010. I am a father of 3, husband of one so as you can tell, I am a family man. Interesting things about me are that I lived in Colombia SA with my kids and wife for three years, I love to whistle (yes, while I work) and can wiggle my nose like a rabbit.

I learned from the school of hard knocks but have honed my craft by constantly learning and using what I have learned in my job. I love my work here at Bluleadz and consider it a second home because we are all family here.

I love to strategize, build and design and look forward to building new and awesome things everyday.

I first joined Bluleadz in 2013 as a freelance writer, then quickly transitioned into a full-time role writing for multiple clients. I do blogging, premium content, and editing work for clients most of the time. I hold a BA in English with a focus in Professional Writing from Saint Leo University. In my free time, I read, play games, and indulge in my hobby of building model kits.

I'm a 4 year marketing/sales veteran here at Bluleadz. I make the Bluleadz wheels go round' from the content creation process, to the design elements you see throughout our site, to working with sales to make sure we have the best content possible out there for our visitors.  I'm originally from Long Island, NY and a HUGE NY Yankees fan. I love blowing off some steam by whacking a racquetball around on the courts and love a challenge. (Think you have what it takes to take me down? Some coworkers might disagree after feeling the same way!)

A true inbound marketing believer. Since entering the workforce I have worked with dozens of clients at two of HubSpots Diamond Tiered Agencies. Beginning as an account manager and working my way up to a Sr. Account Manager and now Client Services Director my goal is to help clients grow their businesses through Inbound Marketing as well as train the Bluleadz team to effectively do the same. 

When I am not learning new marketing, leadership and business growth tactics you can find me at a local sports bar cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, at the closest music venue enjoying whatever live artist (particularly country) is in town, or traveling to spend time with friends and family exploring new adventures. 

I started at Bluleadz in February 2014 and haven’t looked back since. I’m a Broadcast Production major from the University of South Florida, with a minor in Sociology and Ramen. 

Video is my passion; all aspects of it. Killer drone footage, interviews with subject matter experts, slick graphics, you name it. My job is my hobby. That's why I'm the Video Guy. Not everyone gets to do what they love, and I am blessed.

I like to longboard, binge-watch my favorite shows many times over and catch great concerts. I'm also Norwegian, which explains my love for waffles, butter and salmon. Also, winter is coming.

I've been a part of the Bluleadz team since Oct. 2014. I was lucky enough to find Bluleadz shortly after graduating college and haven't looked back since. I love helping my clients grow their business with inbound marketing by working with them to create awesome and unique content. I was born and raised in Naples, FL., but moved to Tampa after graduating from the University of Tampa in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Marketing. When I'm not working, I'm probably watching Friends, relaxing at the beach/pool or spending time with my friends and family.

I came to the Bluleadz team in August of 2014 which was the best professional decision I'll ever make. As a firm believer that team culture, creative drive and integrity are the keys to truly loving your job, that is exactly the foundation we're built upon and what keeps our engines roaring for clients every day. Originally from Lake George, NY, I moved to Tampa in 2010 and have grown quite fond of wearing t-shirts in January. Inside the office, I'm a right-brained fellow incessantly sailing the creative seas searching for new approaches to building relationships in sales and gaining as much knowledge every day as possible. Outside the office, I enjoy the gym, NBA basketball, going to the movies and overdosing on silliness with my 6-year old best friend of a daughter.

I started as an Intern here at Bluleadz about 2 and a half years ago and have since stepped my game up to become an Inbound Marketing Consultant (although I still take the heat for being the 'baby' of the office). I graduated with a Marketing degree from the University of South Florida after moving to Tampa from Sarasota, Florida. My roles include managing client accounts and driving results online through site conversions, email, blogging, and social media. Outside of the Bluleadz walls, I'll most likely be at the beach, running around town, or anything else that keeps me from being inside.

I’ve been drinking the Hubspot Kool-aid for about 7 years and have been lucky enough to be part of the Bluleadz Team for almost 2 as an Inbound Marketing Consultant.

Helping clients “get found” online is what gets me juiced. Working with clients across the country on strategies to improve their ability to attract and delight new customers is what I do.

A social media idiot I run our IG account!!

My kids, Leo (7) and Minka (5), are my life. I spend most of my free time with them, which is an awesome gift.

When I am not with my children, I love to be outdoors. Living in Tampa, Florida I get to golf and go to the beach as much as I can and that makes me happy!

I've been in the Digital Marketing Industry since 2012, but with Bluleadz since 2016. I work closely with our marketing and sales team from brainstorming marketing strategies to making everything look “Pixel Perfect”.

I’m a curious person at heart and jump to every opportunity to learn something new or take on a challenge.

I’m originally from Jamaica, love the food and the people, but always the first to make fun of us every chance I get. And no, I do not know your Jamaican friends, Bob Marley, or play the guitar…but I do know the “Redemption Song”…partially. 

When I’m not working, you can usually find me getting into trouble with family and friends, watching Netflix, or on the tennis court sharpening my skills.

I’m a Web Designer and Front-End Developer here at Bluleadz. I’ve been a computer geek fueling my creative juices since the early 2000’s. I graduated in 2015 from the University of Central with a B.A. in Digital Media - Web Design. I enjoy every pixel part of design and I am constantly pushing myself in new ways to design and improve my craft. 

I grew up as a military brat and have lived in Portugal and Italy, although I’ve been in Florida long enough to call it home. Other than being the obvious computer geek, I have an addiction to Netflix, all Marvel movies, mini vacations, and everything John Mayer.

I have a background in business development/sales and marketing. My professional passion is combining creative ideas with strategic moves. Here at Bluleadz I work with our clients to reach their business goals through inbound marketing portals - websites, blogs, newsletters, e mail and social media, to name a few. I am a true "Maineah". Though I've lived in Florida for over ten years now have no plans to move back North in the near future (though I do love to visit family and friends in June or July). In my free time I enjoy boating, reading, writing, cooking and spending time with family and friends.

As an Inbound Marketing Consultant at Bluleadz, it is my passion to work directly with clients in order to help maximize their inbound marketing strategies.

I joined the team in August 2017 and have a background in advertising, email marketing and client services. I moved to Tampa from Naples, Florida, to attend the University of Tampa, where I graduated with a degree in Communications and Advertising in 2012.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outside on the water either paddleboarding, fishing, boating, scuba diving or just relaxing in the sun.

I'm a hard working, driven, and focused communicator with experience in writing, editing, media relations, photojournalism, marketing, project management, interdepartmental collaboration, and customer service.

I have a keen eye for detail and always am looking for new ways to improve myself personally and professionally.

My passion is to tell others' stories and help organizations communicate their brands through a variety of mediums

I'm a continuous learner who loves using the latest digital tools to help businesses achieve their marketing and sales goals.

I've worked with companies across the United States and beyond to generate and sustain inbound marketing success. I'm currently most fascinated with UX-centric website design and the importance of user intent in SEO.

When I'm away from the office, I enjoy learning new things, spending time outdoors, sipping a good cup of coffee and relaxing with family.

I am a husband, father of 3, and I've been making websites since 2009. I'm pretty passionate about all things technology related. Most recently, in regards to web tech that I'm passionate about, SVG and Progressive Web Apps have really been tickling my fancy. Side note: why does 'tickle my fancy' sound so weird?

I also enjoy making music, coffee, and talking about all things Elon Musk—like any other completely normal person.

I’ve been in advertising for nearly 20 years and have crafted copy for companies and brands across a variety of industries, in all forms of media. Now, I’m excited to be focusing my attention on inbound marketing with Bluleadz.

A Western Michigan University graduate, I moved to Florida in search of warmer weather and open waters. When not writing, you'll probably find me boating, exploring Ybor City, enjoying a book (David Sedaris is a favorite) or traveling (35+ states, 20+ countries, and counting).

I have a background in SEO, Paid Search and Social Media Management. My professional passion is getting a client excited about the work I have done for them and hearing a client say that they are satisfied.

I graduated college from Ohio State University but I am a die hard Michigan Wolverines fan - don’t ask. I love sports and will gladly argue with you for hours about them. In my free time, I love to play sand volleyball, golfing, playing board games and creating new adventures!

I strongly believe that everyone has a story to tell and, as an Inbound Marketing Consultant, it is my passion to find unique and fun ways to share those stories. I love tapping into my diverse background in client services, communications, photo/video content creation and social media to help businesses grow their online presence.

I graduated from the University of Florida in 2015 with a degree in Telecommunications (Go Gators!) and joined the Bluleadz team in 2018.

In my spare time, you can find me taking photos with friends, hanging out with my family or soaking up the sun with a good book and some indie rock tracks to keep me company. I have a deep-seeded love for avocados, café con leche, yoga and kickboxing. I’m also a self-proclaimed "professional luggage packer” and love to travel and explore other cultures.
