Chijo

Founder, CEO

Too many nonprofits, healthcare, and purposeful businesses struggle to clearly tell their story on websites. I provide a messaging framework that clarifies their mission. With an engaging story my clients get more donors and clients... If you are struggling with growing your organization, I'm your guy.

I am a certified WordPress consultant who will provide trustworthy advice and real results.

It's fun running a successful business with an amazing team of quality people. When not working I'm having fun biking, fishing or hiking with my wife, two active boys and uber active golden retriever puppy.
