Owner & President

We’re a dynamic, tell-it-like-it-is trio that’s worked together for more than 20 years. We formed a bond early on working in entry-level positions that turned into a career-long partnership. We learned from the ground up, so while we now lead Diray, we’re no strangers to jumping into the trenches to ensure a client win.

Over the years, our passion and dedication has taught us how to curate a team that delivers smart results that make a difference. As a result, we’ve become sought after media strategists and thought leaders whose focus on success, creating true partnerships—and having fun in the process—is a hallmark of all we do..
