Summary

Hi. Thumbtack is an extremely valuable resource for hiring cheap, mid-range, and premium talent. If you are looking for the cheapest talent on Thumbtack, I unfortunately am not your person. With 25 years of Marketing experience, I get a fair amount and don’t need to boost my portfolio or work experience with jobs that pay below the value I provide. That’s not egotistical – I assume as a business professional you have a value you put on your time as well, and wouldn’t expect someone to pay you less than that.

You’ll find this kind of honesty and pragmatism in the way I approach every project. Your time is valuable and your deadlines are critical. We’ll build a delivery and review schedule that maps to your calendar and fits inside my other family obligations (see availability below).
