Data Driven Growth™
Starting in July 2023, I was employed by Creekstone Creative, LLC. This company was founded by Carolyn Lawson (of the Oregon Health Authority), Richard Brown (a local foodie), and a third "silent" investor by the name of Craig Freeman. We operated under the name MarketStorm.
The team was lean. During my nine-month tenure, the company scaled from 20 to 400 accounts. We had planned to self-host our analytics system, but once completed, this application was covertly transferred to Netrics, LLC.
This was the fracture point. The new LLC excluded the third partner, and I was an employee of the first. They were cheap, my pay was good, and the build took a long time.
The names of California State Attorneys were invoked.
Margins were healthy, cash built up, and distributions were regrettable to Carolyn.
I was pushed out by the quarter's end.
Within a year, I was living in Midtown Sacramento, working for a local tech company, and participating the 2025 California Elections. I was bold, and both individuals used their network to sow doubt.
The foodie has a company history of embezzlement and the politician's highest achievement is Cover Oregon.
They're well seasoned.
