Welcome to Commit Agency! We appreciate your visit. It is hard to believe that we started the agency 20 years ago already and there is no question that every day has been filled with a different adventure (or ten). ’Evolve or die’ is the mantra that drives us. And it is a good thing because when we started our agency email was new social media didnt exist and Google was just a word babies said while slurring.
I am a numbers guy that has strategic vision to see opportunity for our clients. Opportunity that grows their business. It is the thing that drives me…finding the why for our clients to make a meaningful difference in their business makes me proud of our work our team and our agency. We dont settle for just ok and we constantly watch our clients back. This philosophy has allowed me to build many friends in this business that were clients first. It really is those relationships built on trust with great people that make this business rewarding and fulfilling.
When not running the agency I am spending time with my wife Deborah and two sons and a significant amount of my spare time is spent supporting charity boards including the Chandler Compadres and Phoenix Boys amp; Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix. I have been recognized by the ASU Spirit of Enterprise Center with the Monster Entrepreneurial Award and was named one of Americas top 25 Most Influential Minds in the Hospitality Industry by HSMAI the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International and was recognized by Phoenix Business Journal 40 under 40. I am blessed to have been afforded the opportunity to get my MBA from Arizona State Universitys W.P. Carey School of Business.

’Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end’ — The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel….. favorite quote of mine from the movie. As a co-founder I get to support our team and work with leadership development plans that allow them to stretch and grow and be their best for each other and for our clients. I love how forward-thinking Commits team is and that we have built so many long term and meaningful relationships with our team members our clients and in our community.
My dissertation research was on measuring the effectiveness of marketing and advertising. At Commit clients are committed to their own growth actively involved and crave results. Just like us.
Personally I serve on the Pacific Southwest BBB and Bank 34 boards support leadership development in the community and enjoy living my ’One Big Life’ with friends and family.
After having studied photography and graphic design in college I began my career as a designer and illustrator for a local newspaper. I went on to work for/with some of the top ad agencies in the Southwest—building and leading various teams of writers designers developers photographers and others toward the best work possible. What I love most is working with clients to discover or rediscover the heartbeat of their brand. Even as a child I remember being compelled to take my toys apart to see how they worked. I believe this innate curiosity has shaped who I am today. I love getting to the bottom of things to better understand how it works (or not). This ultimately ends up showing us what direction to point the ship. When not in the office I love spending my time with my wife and kids writing/playing music or riding my motorcycle—all the while trying to learn how to live in the moment.
As someone who wrote her first ’book’ at age 8 and dreamt up a fictional superhero called Banana Man who went on wild escapades every Christmas Eve (honestly I dont even know) I get to write and tell stories for a living. Real stories that matter…and arent about weird banana-yielding superheroes. How cool is that?!
With stints as a former newspaper reporter magazine editor and PR gal my 20-year career has taken lots of twists and turns. Just like a good book one might say. From covering grisly crime scenes as a police reporter to attending a presidential inaugural ball in our nations capital my career path of finding and telling stories has taken me from Phoenix to Washington D.C. and back again.
Today I get to create content for Commit and our clients—white papers webinars publications you name it—alongside an uber-talented group of creative geniuses. Along the way Ive been able to work on some amazing brands including McDonalds Pfizer Make-A-Wish America UnitedHealthcare Nationwide Insurance and the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
In my downtime you can find me curled up with a good book (shocking I know) yelling at playing with my kids or enjoying a leisurely brunch with my better half. If I can find a sitter.
With more than 15 years of marketing and advertising experience mama bear-in-residence mercenary contract negotiator and client advocate I oversee Commits account services team to keep projects on track on budget and moving through the system to ensure client satisfaction. I also work with the media team to ensure analytics are always utilized to provide maximum return on investments. My hospitality expertise has been utilized for clients such as Two Roads Hospitality Hershey Entertainment amp; Resorts Bedford Springs Resort and Costa dEste. An avid DIYer I have been known to spend my off-time remodeling bathrooms and even building a swimming pool when not running my daughter to dance class or off-roading with my husband.
With over 20 years of experience leading and growing digital accounts and teams within a variety of B2C and B2B agencies Ive been able to play a central role in many projects and digital marketing campaigns both large and small from beginning to end. I have a deep enthusiasm for digital strategy and for aligning our clients business objectives and outcomes with our digital marketing tactics and executions. In addition to launching amazing websites email campaigns search marketing and display campaigns Im drawn to the challenge of making a real difference in our clients business and measurably improving the bottom line.
Food travel writing design social media—my life splashed across a six inch bumper sticker would likely include a few of these words.
From senior publicist to account executive in-house hospitality marketing leader to freelance creative consultant Ive been fortunate to live a life full of experiences that have allowed me to arrive at where I am today here at Commit. A writer to the core Ive also been fortunate enough to have my byline appear in outlets like Phoenix Magazine—where I enjoyed the unique pleasure of being the publications dining critic 2014 to 2015—to Phoenix Home amp; Garden Magazine Modern Luxury Scottsdale Java Magazine and many others.
As Commits Director of Social Media and Content Strategy my job is to set the tone and strategy for my department. From the content we develop and manage for our clients to the data we analyze and build upon I benefit from the best of both worlds—not only do I get to work in a field that distills everything I love but I also get to lead an incredible team of creatives enthusiasts and data wonks constantly looking for new ways to learn and grow.
Born and raised in Phoenix with a brief detour in New York City and extensive travels in between in my free time you can track me bouncing around town with friends on a never-ending adventure to find the best food (and cocktails) traveling to fun and far off new places cooking at home and or frankly recharging at home in my sweats with DoorDash at the ready. (Dont repeat that last part.)
