Built a digital agency from scratch to $2M+/year and 15+ employees

Overview

I founded Audentio in 2007 as a teenager, teaching myself web development at the local library and building my first computer from savings earned doing odd jobs. What started as a one-person freelance practice grew into a full-service digital agency with 15+ team members serving clients across three continents.

Over nearly two decades, I built Audentio into a business generating over $2M per year in revenue, partnering with organizations ranging from early-stage startups to major media companies. Our client portfolio included Ars Technica, IGN, Yahoo Sports, Paradox Interactive, MacRumors, CompTIA, and dozens more — platforms collectively reaching hundreds of millions of users.

I ran every aspect of the business: hiring and managing the team, client relationships, product strategy, technical architecture, and financial operations. The agency earned a reputation for reliability, craft, and delivering complex projects on time and on budget.

After building Audentio into a sustainable, profitable business, I sold it to an investor. The agency continues to operate today — a testament to the foundation I built.
