Our Team

David isn’t big on titles (many of the Click Mentality team members selected their own job titles), but technically speaking, he is our Managing Director. And founder. And owner. He’s the guy with the entrepreneurial spirit, the vision, and the will to make it all happen.

Although we sometimes tease David about our theory that he only sleeps about 45 minutes a night, he does get a lot done in a day. He also leverages one of his most critical skills for the leader of a digital marketing agency: bringing other people up. Several of our team members started off in other fields. David identifies the best and brightest in a variety of fields (like bartending and construction!) and recognizes in them a solid work ethic and capacity to learn and grow.

David is the prototypical “small-town boy” who later moved to the Big City. He has lived in Denver for several years and enjoys the typical outdoor pursuits (like skiing) that Colorado’s favorable weather allows. He and his wife are the proud parents of three children. We’re betting that at least one of the three starts a company before the age of 10.

Random fact: David once lived in a building that previously housed a morgue.

He’s organized, he’s driven, and he knows his stuff. As Click Mentality’s Director of Digital Marketing, Anthony brings clarity to concepts that can sometimes be a bit fuzzy for the uninitiated. From PPC to lead generation to sales funnels, Anthony has mastered all the ways to connect a company’s products and services to the intended audiences. He possesses a broad understanding of all channels and how they work together. The term may suffer from over-use, but Anthony’s a whiz at “moving the needle.”

Originally from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Anthony visited a friend in Boulder and never really went back. He attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, earning a degree in Communications. He fell in love with Colorado and its natural beauty; today, he continues to enjoy outdoorsy activities like camping in the mountains, biking, motocross, and four-wheeling. He and his girlfriend Amanda share their home with a dog and a cat (the cat, for the record, is not outdoorsy).

After college, Anthony dove into the world of digital marketing and started to learn all of the nuances of the field that can’t be learned in college. He started his own agency, building it into a successful business before moving on to new challenges. 

Anthony describes himself as easygoing, optimistic, flexible, and versatile. His coworkers would probably add the term “energetic” to the mix. Anthony is highly motivated to drive success for Click Mentality’s client-partners. He knows that collaboration and teamwork are keys to success - no A/B testing needed in order to confirm! 

Random fact: Anthony once ate a one-pound hamburger at a restaurant. His reward? His photo on the wall of fame. 

He’s fit, he’s an accomplished photographer, and he knows fancy words like al dente, compote, and canape. But wait, there’s more! Tony is also an SEO expert, which is an in-demand skill in today’s data-driven world. He’s a knowledgeable and energetic addition to the Click Mentality team and does a great job of explaining SEO strategies in a way that non-experts can understand. Tony prides himself on being able to communicate with different types of people in a team environment. 

He started his education in microbiology, took a break, and later attended the Art Institute of Colorado, which gave him an opportunity to explore his love of art, painting, and graphic design. Tony also had a keen interest in technology and website development. As the SEO field began to form, Tony jumped right in, learning all the ins and outs of search engines and how to drive targeted traffic in all the right directions. 

Tony has two adult children, a son and a daughter. When asked about his proudest accomplishment, his children come first. He’s also proud of participating in a cycling fundraiser that found him crossing the entire state in two days. In addition to cycling, Tony also enjoys weightlifting (he used to compete in CrossFit), hiking, and longboarding. Now, back to those fancy words: Tony is a gourmet cook and enjoys the challenge of mastering new dishes. Photography is one of his other great passions. He found a niche in sports and fitness photography, even booking some commercial clients. 

Random fact: While most people would agree that how you pronounce the word “caramel” depends largely on regional differences, Tony would like you to know that there is only one pronunciation: care-ah-mel. There will be no further debate. 

He’s certified, he’s data-driven, and he can cook! Meet Steve, a skilled Paid Media Strategist with charisma to spare. 

Steve is a Denver native; he’s lived in Colorado all his life except for a one-year stint living in Australia. He lived in a big city (Sydney) and hence does not have any exciting stories about Australian wildlife (we definitely asked). After high school, he earned a Liberal Arts degree (with a minor in History as well as a minor in Marketing) from Colorado State University. Steve’s career path began in hospitality, a decade-long journey that gave him invaluable skills in working with many different types of people.

In time, Steve made the leap from hospitality to digital marketing. The more he learned about the psychology of how a user finds products/services and whether or not that interaction results in a sale/conversion, the more fascinated he became. Steve knew he wanted to get inside the head of that user and use data to make predictions and informed recommendations. He found that he had a natural skill in this arena and loves finding new ways to use technology and data to drive results. 

Since coming to the dark - er, data - side, he's built a solid background in digital marketing, holding leadership positions along the way.  In addition to PPC, Steve also has a solid understanding of SEO, Social Media,  and SEM principles. He holds multiple Google certifications: Google Search, Google Analytics, and Google Measurements.

Steve and his girlfriend share their home with a cat and a dog. He enjoys cooking, snowboarding, and watching football. His years in the restaurant industry taught him priceless kitchen skills. He describes himself as being even-keeled, pragmatic, self-motived, and chock full of leadership skills. Steve prides himself on always leaving a job well done. 

Random fact: Steve was once a nationally-ranked distance runner. Nope, no one was chasing him! 

Click Mentality needed a creative person who understands web development and digital marketing, and we found her! Kristin is a Colorado native who considers herself to be a lifelong learner. She earned a BS in Advertising from the University of Colorado at Boulder and rounded out her education by delving into coding on her own. In addition to her impressive design portfolio, Kristin brings to the table strong skills in HTML/CSS, Javascript, WordPress, and of course the full Adobe Creative Suite. She has also been initiated into the Umbraco universe and picked it up in no time. 

Kristin describes herself as conscientious, detail-oriented, curious, and thorough. She enjoys DIY projects, photography, and water sports like wakeboarding. She has family in Hawaii and spent time there growing up, which is where she developed a love for the water. Kristin carries the spirit of Aloha with her wherever she goes by reflecting compassion, hope, and empathy in every interaction.  

When she’s not flexing her design and development skills, Kristin enjoys true crime documentaries, puzzles, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune. She loves to explore design trends, particularly as they relate to sustainability and eco-friendliness. At all times, Kristin is carefully supervised by two cats, Lakshmi and Vishnu. 

Random Fact: Kristin wants nothing to do with ketchup (and no, spelling it catsup won’t make it any more appealing to her). Other condiments are fine, but ketchup? No.

What were you doing when you were 8? Ken Dimmer was writing his first program. When he was about a decade older, Ken worked on his first website in 2001, and if memory serves, he received a tattoo in exchange. Ken has come a long way since then. His official title is Operations Director, but he also delves into development and project management. Ken is one of our SEO experts as well.

Ken is a certified Umbraco Master, and has passed every test that Umbraco offers (with flying colors, of course). Go ahead, ask him anything. He’s also pretty good at explaining technical concepts in layman’s terms.

Like several Click Mentality team members, Ken grew up in Wisconsin but felt Denver’s sunnier weather calling his name. He made the move in 2015. Like many Colorado residents, Ken is fairly outdoorsy and enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, disc golf, and something called “snowblading,” which he swears is a legitimate sport.

Ken has two children, a boy and a girl.

Other hobbies: The Bahamas (hey, whatever works)

Claudia tends to straddle two worlds. She’s an introvert who enjoys people. She’s an English Major who has a deep appreciation for technology. After 25 years of working in the fields of IT and Digital Marketing, she feels right at home here at Click Mentality. Claudia’s role involves project coordination and scheduling (AKA “herding the cats”), as well as working with our client-partners to ensure that their needs are met. She admits to having an outrageous number of browser tabs open at any given time. 

Originally from Northern Virginia, Claudia has resided in Green Bay, Wisconsin for over 25 years. When she’s not working, she enjoys practicing yoga, writing, walking her dogs, conquering jigsaw puzzles, and embarrassing her 16-year-old daughter. She admits to being a “crazy dog lady” and has spent the last two decades volunteering for rescues and shelters.

All-time favorite song: “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” by The Police. It’s a big enough umbrella!

Aubry Marie started her adult life as a nursing major but later found that her skills and talents were best suited to business development and customer service. Originally from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Aubry spent several years working for a large promotional company. She performed so well that she was sent to Houston and later Tallahassee to build up the markets in those regions. Later, she relocated to Denver, where she started a family. She and her husband are the proud parents of two active youngsters. 

Aubry joined the Click Mentality team in the role of Business Coordinator. She leads the effort in sales and marketing, helping us to expand our reach and to bring our expertise to companies and organizations looking for strong partnerships. Aubry’s caring and compassionate nature serve her well in her personal and professional lives. She often says that she is happy when the people around her are happy.

For a busy mom, moments of downtime are rare, but Aubry enjoys doing artsy-craftsy projects. She’s been known to crank out paintings, handmade candles, and even wine cork creations. Aubry also enjoys making healthy meals for her family and trying new recipes.

Random fact: Aubry spent most of her life in various choirs and loves to sing. Currently, the shower serves as her main stage.

Krizzia joined our team in 2017. When it comes to handling large volumes of data, nothing scares Krizzia. Her “can-do” attitude makes her a valued member of our team. She routinely asks, “What can I do to help?” - wouldn’t life be easier if everyone had that attitude? She enjoys working for Click Mentality because of the company’s culture of bringing people up and helping them to grow.

Krizzia studied Computer Science in school and strives to continue growing and learning. In addition to handling data-related tasks, she uses Umbraco to build content pages for our client-partners. She also handles photo editing and email cataloging.

When she’s not working, Krizzia enjoys cooking, photography, hiking, and swimming. She also admits to a slight addiction to watching food shows.

Random fact: Krizzia enjoys researching names and photos of edible plants. Did you know that dandelions are highly edible?

Chris is definitely one of those “living life on his own terms” people. When he’s not leading projects for Click Mentality’s client-partners, you may find him deep in the wilderness, hiking and/or hunting with his dog. He also enjoys fly fishing and snowboarding. A Colorado native, Chris spent some time living in Asia when he was younger. Later, he earned a BA in Speech Communication from Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Master of Project Management degree from Colorado State University. 

Chris describes himself as loyal, detail-oriented, and forward-thinking. He brings to the table a decade of experience managing digital marketing projects. He’s never met a deadline he can't crush, all with an eye on the project's budget and goals. Chris may seem a bit quiet in meetings, but he’s incredibly skilled at listening and understanding needs. He prides himself on being able to communicate with many different audiences (technical, non-technical, etc.) - he makes sure everyone feels heard and understood. In turn, he is able to drive solutions and recommendations that move the needle. 

Random fact: Chris’s mom didn’t have a chance to finish college when she became pregnant with the future project manager. Years later, she finished her degree at the same time as Chris; they graduated together.

If you get excited about things like algorithms and all the ways that data can be sliced and diced, you might be destined for a career in digital marketing. Julia is one of those excitable souls, and she recently joined our team as an SEO Specialist. She is passionate about helping our client-partners make smart business decisions by analyzing data and finding creative ways to use it. She only uses her powers for good, however! 

A quick learner, Julia holds multiple Google and Hubspot certifications. A sampling of her skills includes: 

• Google Analytics
• SEM
• A/B Testing
• Google Ads
• Email Marketing
• SEO Tools
• Social Media Management
• Branding

Julia hails from Russia and came to the US as an exchange student. She earned a BA in Marketing/Data Analysis from Fort Lewis College in Durango. Julia has fallen in love with all things Colorado. She enjoys activities like hiking, snowboarding, and backpacking. She and her partner have a dog named Boosya (which means Button in Russian) who enjoys hikes as well. Other hobbies include working out, weightlifting, and practicing Martial Arts. 

When asked about her experience with cultural differences when she arrived in the US, Julia says that she was struck by the sheer variety of food at the grocery store - and the sizable portions of potato chips and such. Another surprise (albeit a happy one) is that in the US, strangers don’t think twice about saying hi to other strangers. If you get a chance to meet Julia, be sure to say hi . . . and then ask how soon she can start working her magic to help your business win the data game. 

Random Fact: Growing up in Russia, Julia learned conversational English by watching Friends re-runs. Pivot!
