Welcome to Collaborative Concepts Marketing, LLC.

It is important that we bring short AND long term marketing plans and budgets to our customer in order to not just get that quick influx of cash but also make it long term and beneficial for your entire company to build on.
Collaborative Concepts Marketing is a labor of love devised over many years. I am a San Diego native and moved to Colorado Springs in 1993 and never turned back. The clean air, water, breath taking mountains, wonderful people, and endless opportunity was just too enticing.
I am a second generation construction business owner. I had my own construction company where most of my marketing and business skills were developed. After selling that company I did nationwide marketing in the consumer packaged goods and food service industries. I have also marketed and sold in real estate.
Next, I was given the opportunity to get involved with the transportation and logistics sector. I have been a general manager for a National Van Lines Agency and most recently a Vice President of Marketing for a nationwide and international United Van Lines collection of agencies. I also took a short period to work on an e-commerce marketing and re-branding effort for Schwan's Foods corporate based out of Minnesota. That opportunity allowed me to learn the latest digital marketing techniques that helped me start Collaborative Concepts Marketing, LLC.
​
I have raised three children in Colorado. My daughter has worked in marketing, sales, and call center development very successfully for years now and she brings her expertise to our team. Everything she has taken on she has become the leader. From team captain on her high school Lacrosse team, to group leader for a fiber optics marketing group, to lead booker in call center development. She is a certified personal trainer and avid marathon and sport enthusiast.
​
My 22 year old son is in his second year of college in Colorado Springs and is driven to become a mechanical engineer or entrepreneur himself. A state level wrestler, football player, and a vintage muscle car restorer.
​
My 16 year old son is in 10th grade in Colorado Springs and an artist and salesman at heart.
