About Hey Media

I’ve spent 11+ years helping small businesses grow through branding, content, and hyper-local marketing.

I didn’t start with marketing skills. In 2014, I saw too many great businesses shut down simply because they didn’t know how to get attention. I learned the ropes working at multiple marketing agencies as a creative mastermind, graphic designer, and content creator, then founded Standout Marketing in 2017, now known as Hey Media.

While providing services for businesses, I also run Hey Shoals, a local media platform based in Florence, Alabama that has generated 18+ million views in only the first 9 months, reaching 1M+ local views monthly and helping restaurants and small businesses drive real, trackable foot traffic often within hours of posting.

Across platforms, we’ve built a highly engaged local audience of 40k–50k+ followers, with content that consistently puts businesses in front of the people most likely to walk through their doors.

This was no accident as it’s my third local media platform I created with the first two in California and Texas averaging over 100,000 views per post.

At Hey Media, we don’t just make content. We build systems that turn local attention into local customers.

Beyond business, I’m a husband and father of three, a musician, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. My mission is simple: help great businesses get seen, grow, and stay open.
