Runner. Maker. Cat foster.

I'm Chris, a growth marketer in Durham, North Carolina. Outside of work I log miles most evenings, keep a 3D printer busy, and spend Tuesday nights caring for rescue cats. Each habit feeds the day job: training plans are just test-and-learn with sore legs, and you can't fake data at mile 20.

3D printing · since 2023

My hobbies show up at work.

I picked up 3D printing in 2023, and it found its way into my job. At ChicknLegs I print Chads that we use as handouts.

When the tool doesn't exist, I make it.

AI side projects

I use AI the way I want my teams to use it.

Outside work I build and run small consumer products with AI as the operating team. It keeps me hands-on with the tools changing marketing fastest, from agent workflows to AI-written lifecycle email.

Volunteering · Independent Animal Rescue

Tuesday nights are for the cats.

Since August 2023 I've worked the Tuesday evening cat-care shift at Independent Animal Rescue in Durham: feeding, cleaning and plenty of socializing for cats waiting on their people.

In 2025 I started fostering. My first foster, Chili, never left; I adopted her. This fall I took in bonded kitten sisters Belle and Panko and ran my first meet-and-greet with adopters. Ash, an IAR office cat, came home with me back in 2023.

I've also put marketing to work for rescues: I reactivated a wildlife rescue's Google Ad Grants account and built its search campaigns.
