About Me

I’m the guy people call when their business is growing but their systems are not.

If someone says, “I know we’re losing leads but I don’t know where,” or “We need better follow up but I don’t have time to figure it out,” that’s usually my lane.

I like simple. Clear. Functional. Things that just work.

I’m based here in the East Metro with my wife and our two kids. Most Wednesdays you’ll find me at AGC. Most weekends you’ll find me behind a drum kit somewhere in the Twin Cities.

Turns out keeping a band in sync and keeping a business in sync are not that different.

About My Company

McKinney Creative Ventures is a Woodbury based marketing and automation partner for local small businesses. We design conversion focused websites, implement CRM systems, and build automated follow up that increases bookings and reviews. Our goal is simple: give business owners their time back while helping them grow with confidence through intelligent systems that actually work together.

Who I want to meet...

Owners of local service businesses who are doing well but know they’ve outgrown their current setup.

Plumbers. HVAC. Cleaning companies. Contractors. Chiropractors. Landscapers. Anyone whose business depends on leads actually turning into booked jobs.

If they say, “We need better systems,” send them my way.

A great referral for me is...

Someone who runs a service based business and feels like they are constantly putting out fires.

They’re busy. They’re talented. They’re doing good work.
But behind the scenes it’s sticky notes, missed calls, late follow up, and a website that mostly just exists.

If they rely on appointments, estimates, or inbound calls and things feel a little chaotic, I can help clean that up.
