The Story

Why I Built This Agency

I grew up doing blue collar work — masonry, low voltage cabling, light carpentry. I know what it feels like to work before sunrise and come home with calloused hands.

After earning a Marketing degree and a Master’s in Computer Science, I saw the gap: trade businesses were getting burned by agencies that had never touched a tool. So I built something different — a shop that speaks both languages.

Background
Masonry, low voltage cabling, light carpentry — real field experience before the degree.

Education
B.S. Marketing + M.S. Computer Science, University of Nebraska.

Enterprise
Led digital marketing for FODS — a national construction manufacturer — scaling teams and driving measurable revenue in the trades.

2025
Founded Blue Collar Bump — a contractor-only digital marketing agency based in Denver, CO.
