In 2007 I opened a small motorcycle parts and accessories store in Mt. Pleasant, MI, I wanted to take my passion and turn it into a business, not knowing that my true passion laid ahead of me.
I started racing motocross in 1992 at the age of 10, it was honestly the only thing I knew, I ate, slept, and talked dirt bikes 24/7. So in 2007 I decided to make my first run at being an entrepreneur, I opened a small motorcycle parts and accessories store 20 minutes from my home town of Midland, Michigan. In 2009 the economy was not the best and I was recently divorced, so I needed to close up shop and get a 9-5. There was nothing about working a 9-5 that excited me, I began working for a liquor company late 2010, which sounds cool, but honestly that may be the worst industry I have ever been a part of. I worked there for about 2 1/2 years when I got into a partner situation selling advertising space part time to local businesses. As many partner situations go, this did not go well or end well, but in late 2013 I founded New Image Adz and I decided to take and run everything on my own and within 2 weeks I was finding success. I was simply selling local advertising to small businesses, teaming up with local restaurants and utilizing their table tops to display local business ads. But, this is where I found a new passion, helping small businesses!
In late 2014, I decided to start taking winters off and spending a few months in Florida, Michigan winters are not exactly warm, and I am not exactly a fan of the cold. In 2015 I met my now wife, Megan, and we spent a couple years being snow birds, however she is from Florida, so I guess she was just vacationing up north in the summers. In 2017, I decided to not return to Michigan for the summer, and stay put in Florida. I had come across Clermont and loved everything about it, we lived there until 2022 when we found out we were expecting our baby girl, Renyn. We then decided to buy 5 acres in the Auburn Alabama area and build a home.
In 2020, along with the entire world, I felt a shift, who knew that every restaurant in the country, in the world, would be shut down. So, we made huge changes and implemented digital marketing as the primary service instead of an add on to print ads and I was prepared as I knew this day would come since 2018.
In January 2023 I decided to implement Buck Wild Digital Marketing as the go to business for digital marketing customers. My primary services now include Web Design, Email Marketing, and Social Media Management. Marketing is the passion I never knew I had, I love helping small businesses utilize the services that are usually priced far too high for the average mom and pop business.
If we are a good fit, I hope to work with you and watch your business grow!
