A Local Voice for Local Business
Web design, local SEO, and community-powered storytelling for East Texas businesses.
Marketing Works Best When It Sounds Human.
I learned business the hands-on way — talking to customers, solving real problems, and working face-to-face with people in my community. Long before websites and SEO, I learned how trust is built and how decisions are actually made.
Small business owners weren’t struggling because they didn’t want to show up online — they were struggling because the tech world made everything confusing, impersonal, and overwhelming.
That’s why Sage Media focuses on what actually matters: helping real people find real businesses in their own towns — without stripping away personality or turning everything into a template.
Sage Media exists to make marketing simple:
• Clean websites that are easy to use
• Clear messaging that sounds like you
• Local SEO that helps people nearby actually find you
• Support that feels personal, not corporate
No pressure. No confusing language. No trying to sound bigger than you are.
Just practical tools that help East Texas businesses get seen and trusted.
My mission is to help East Texas small businesses get seen — through simple marketing, strong local SEO, and storytelling that captures who they really are. I exist to raise up local voices, spotlight real people, and build a media platform that supports the heart of our communities. When local businesses thrive, East Texas does too.
What It’s Like to Work With Me

We start with a quick call or message so I can understand what you need, what’s been frustrating, and where you want to go..
I Build the Plan
I map out a clear, realistic plan that fits your business — no pressure to do more than what actually makes sense.
You Approve & We Launch
You get exactly what you need, and we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Why I Built ETX Discovered and East Texas Uncovered
East Texas isn’t just where I work
— it’s home.
I wanted a place where locals could discover amazing small businesses… and where those small businesses could get the attention they deserve.
ETX Local Discovery helps people find shops, local artists, boutiques, cafés, and hidden gems across our towns.
East Texas Uncovered tells the stories behind those businesses — the grit, the passion, the moments that make them who they are.
Both projects support my bigger mission:
helping East Texas grow by lifting up the people who make it special.
