Tell us about your childhood and where you grew up

I grew up in Antelope, CA, at the time a new growing small town. I didn’t grow up with the principles of entrepreneurship instilled in me as my mom was a career woman and didn’t take many chances. I was so much different than all of my family with what I wanted with my life which led me to Instinct Marketing.

How did you get started as an entrepreneur?

My business partner was an affiliate marketer and noticed my sales ability at Verizon. We joined forces and started Instinct Marketing, a small agency that helps other small service-based businesses reach their highest potential. We traveled the world from Thailand to a small town in Connecticut to learn how to start our business and take it to the highest level. Today we are the leading digital marketing agency in Sacramento, CA.
