A Local Voice for Local Business.
Web design, local SEO, and community-powered storytelling for East Texas businesses.
I Didn’t Start in Tech — I Started With People.
I learned business the hands-on way — talking to customers, solving problems, and working in the real world. Along the way, I noticed something important:
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.
So I learned the part that actually matters — the part that helps real people find real businesses in their own towns.
Sage Media exists to make marketing simple:
-
Clean websites
-
Clear messaging
-
Local SEO that brings neighbors through the door
-
And support that feels human, not corporate
No overwhelm.
No jargon.
No agency buzzwords.
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.

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, makers, 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.
