Building an in-house Optimization Program from Zero

There was no optimization program. I built one — the testing framework, the research function, the reporting structure, and the cross-functional relationships that made it all run.

About

Systems thinker. Conversion specialist. Actual human being.

Growing up working on a cattle ranch, I learned something that stuck: while I love a good looking fence, what ultimately matters is that the fence keeps the cows safe and contained. That instinct, that bias toward working solutions over perfect designs is how I approach every project.

I spent a decade deliberately building technical depth before moving into strategy. Web development before SEO. SEO before testing programs. I worked at ObservePoint (founded by the founder of Omniture) and got a ground-floor education in web analytics, data accuracy, and how websites actually work at the infrastructure level. Then I earned an MBA with heavy emphasis on root cause analysis, because most managers are solving the wrong problem.

That foundation gives me something that's genuinely hard to replicate: the ability to hold business strategy, UX, analytics, A/B testing, and technical architecture in the same frame simultaneously. I find the actual problem — not the surface symptom — and build practical, working solutions to fix it.

I've built and led optimization programs from thr e ground up, run 450+ A/B tests, delivered 150+ qualitative research studies, and driven $35M+ in attributed revenue growth. I've managed teams of employees, contractors, and agencies. I present to C-levels and work alongside engineers. I do the work and I understand the work.

Outside of work, I'm a husband and dad. Being genuinely present with my family is something I take seriously. I live in rocket city (Huntsville), Alabama. I'm curious and a bit creative: I experiment with AI music, refinish thrifted furniture, and cook things from scratch on Sunday afternoons.

Tools & Resources

Things I've Built & Written

Tools built for real problems, and writing on the topics I care most about — optimization, research, analytics, and web strategy.

Tool
LinkAudit — Web Crawler

A local web crawler that audits any site for broken links and exports a CSV report. Runs on your machine in under a minute. No login, no subscription, no nonsense.

  • 404 / 4xx / 5xx errors
  • 301/302 redirects & insecure HTTP links
  • Staging URLs accidentally in production
  • SSL errors & slow pages (>3 seconds)

Writing on conversion optimization, research methodology, and building programs that actually work. (Worth the wait, I promise.)

Got a problem worth solving?

Whether you're building an optimization program, need a conversion audit, want a research partner, or you're looking to add someone to your team who can do all of the above — I'd like to hear about it.
