I was lucky enough to work with Alec as my manager and can wholeheartedly recommend his skills as a leader and partner in a team. Alec worked hard to ensure that everyone had the ability and support to do their jobs, and did it in a way that inspired the team to work harder and smarter. He would be an incredible asset as a team member or leader in any organization, though his technical skills are incredible as well!

I know Alec as a boss and mentor.

As my manager for 2 years, Alec show patience, kindness, and a deep knowledge of digital marketing. His strategic thinking and understanding of a wide array of digital tools brought a new life to our department.

As my mentor, he helped me grow and reach my potential. By being a great example of a man and marketing professional, Alec encouraged me to become a better version of myself and excel in the marketing industry.

I would not be the marketer I am today without Alec! I would recommend to anyone who who is seeking an expert who will guide you through the complex marketing world and will make complex strategies easy to understand and contribute to.

I had the pleasure to work under Alec as our digital and web team manager at AdPro. Alec consistently showed a calm demeanor and was able to balance a ton of requests coming into our team with grace and a positive attitude. Delegating, managing projects, the team, and showing a strong sense of where to shift projects and team effort when necessary and needed. He really worked to help improve our planning to development pipeline. Getting developer feedback along the way.

He also went the extra mile to support our web team in many ways. Fielding interoffice communications from other teams and even going the extra mile by sometimes building sites to help lighten our pipeline. Especially if full effort was already being given by the team members elsewhere.

I would definitely enjoy working with Alec again if I ever get the chance. With his digital marketing knowledge for the digital team and his continual support for our web dev team.
