Utah marketing and AI consultant. Owner of Redline Design. General manager of Automotive Addiction and Autostrada.
I own Redline Design, a Salt Lake City digital marketing agency that runs web design, SEO, paid ads, CRM and AI automation as one funnel. I also run the car side of Utah's scene through Automotive Addiction, Carbon Club and Autostrada.
One person can now do the work of an entire office floor. My whole career has been training for it.

I grew up in a small town in Idaho and built my first computer at eight. I have been taking things apart to see how they work ever since.
By thirteen I was selling websites. I competed in robotics, and at fourteen I was working as an IT director’s assistant.
A year of computer science at Neumont University, then I left when the cost stopped making sense. Door-to-door sales, retail and life insurance came next: the kind of training where every no teaches you something.
About ten years at National Auto Plaza and National GMC, from the sales floor to finance manager, sales manager and marketing director, usually doing two of those jobs at once. I learned how a car gets sold, financed and marketed, and saw how badly dealerships needed better digital marketing.
So I built Redline Design on nights and weekends. When the partnership outgrew itself, I bought out my three partners, handed them most of the clients and staff, and kept the one thing I would not give up: the Redline name.
Then I rebuilt the agency around AI automation. Work that once took fifteen people now runs on two, and clients get the whole funnel from one team: websites, SEO, paid ads, CRM and analytics, month to month.
General manager of Automotive Addiction, its Murray dealership, Carbon Club and Autostrada. I still drive the track days I run, in a Lotus, and spend weekends on road rallies.
Utah Valley University invited me to lecture twice in 2026, for the Halladay Executive Lecture Series and the FinTech Center. That summer I earned Harvard Online’s certificate in Agentic AI, spoke at the Mission Ready Mastermind, and kept turning up on the Based Business podcast.

I teach what I use: AI that gives small teams their time back, and marketing built to be measured.

On March 26, 2026, I spoke to Utah Valley University business students about adapting to change, optimizing systems and using AI to automate repetitive work. I built a working website live with AI and showed why prompting skill decides the result.
UVU's recap: AI lets him "buy back time."
Back by invitation. On October 14, 2026, I returned to UVU for the FinTech Center’s Reed and Christine Halladay Lecture Series, on AI automation and the lessons behind running several companies at once.

Keynotes, classrooms, masterminds and podcasts. Every talk is built from what runs his own companies today, with live demos instead of slides full of theory.
Every hour spent on a repeatable task is an hour not spent on the customer. I use AI to automate that repetitive work, and it is the same idea I taught UVU students. Learn AI automation, and learn to prompt well, because the tool is only as good as the instructions.
Traffic, conversion and follow-up all drive revenue. When growth stalls it is one of those three, and you only find which by measuring every stage. That is why Redline runs the funnel end to end instead of pointing at the vendor next door.
Referrals beat cold outreach. Share what you know, treat people well before they are customers, and the right ones come to you. It is one reason cars make a great networking tool, a topic I dug into on the Based Business podcast.
Completed July 2026 through Harvard Online. The course prepares learners to understand, evaluate and responsibly apply agentic AI systems in professional settings: workflow automation, plus the risks that come with it, including hallucination, bias, data exposure, prompt injection and governance. It shapes how Redline builds AI solutions for clients.
