But Troy’s work transcends financial profits. He has fulfilled his longtime dream of making an impact and changing people’s lives. His journey has shown him that anyone can be more than their origin story and their past and, most importantly, the stereotypes and stigmas branded on them. Right out of college, Troy had an opportunity to work for Boeing, but pivoted at a time when social media was only in its infancy in favor of a career in marketing.

His methods are proven and tested to work for both types of businesses. On a regular basis, he talks about a combination of technology, psychology, marketing, and communication.
What makes Troy unique from other marketers is that he doesn’t put people in a predetermined box filled with templates, prerecorded videos and courses, and an endless supply of regurgitated “hand-me-down” strategies, tactics, and marketing approaches. His strategies and methodologies work so well because he keeps things simple and approaches projects in a more personal way to make a major impact and reach. Clients and brands work with him to build a personalized solution to their marketing problems and dilemmas. He gives 110% during sessions with clients and internalizes their visions and aspirations.
