Professional Summary
15+ Years Managing Programs for Top Consumer Brands
Former pro skier turned affiliate strategist. Over 15 years of experience growing programs for top consumer brands — with the same dedication and discipline that defined my skiing career. I founded Windy Point Media, LLC to deliver hands-on management without the bloat of a traditional agency.
"I built my career the same way I skied — commit fully, stay consistent, and never phone it in." — Nick Bullard
