Every project here starts with real vision and genuine research. What happens next is not rigid adherence to a single outcome — it is disciplined pursuit of the right one. Some projects reach the original vision exactly. Some arrive somewhere better. Some get cut before they cost too much. This is what building outside the box actually looks like when someone is serious about it.

Director's Notes
The method is the rotation.

Approx. 4 min
I have been a Director of Digital Marketing, a Chief Growth Officer, a documentary filmmaker, a painter, a podcast host, a software founder, and an abstract artist. The conventional career advice is to pick a lane commit fully.
Each project I have taken on started with a clear vision and real conviction behind it. The churn mitigation system I built at BatchService recovered $1.43M in revenue because I understood what the data was pointing to and built a system around it before the bleeding got worse.
The documentary about grief reached 40 countries because I saw something worth saying and spent years learning how to say it on film. The faith-tech platform I am building exists because I found a genuine gap and researched it long before writing a line of code.
Vision and rigor come first. Flexibility in form comes after.
Callout № 01 · Flow State
On maintaining flow state.
The way I work is an ebb and flow between projects — moving in focused spurts, picking up something else when one thread needs to breathe, returning sharper. This is not distraction.
It is how I maintain flow state across a body of work rather than burning out inside a single track.
The rotation is the method.
Callout № 02 · Cross-pollination
The projects feed each other.
A problem in a growth system surfaces an insight for a film. A constraint in software clarifies something about human behavior.
Specialists miss this.

Subject 01Growth infrastructure
His talent for turning a complex vision into a clear, actionable plan was incredible to watch and fundamentally changed how we approach growth. Preston is a natural leader who can not only provide strategic direction but also get in the trenches with his team when required.
Ivo DraginovCo-Founder, BatchService
03:14:20
Subject 02Digital growth
He grew our digital programs to unprecedented numbers. His focus was on optimized user experience, increased traffic acquisition, and improved conversion rates. With very little resources, he delivered on all three — resulting in roughly 40% of all new business revenue coming from digital programs.
DeAnn PoeVP Marketing, ZoomInfo
03:18:02
Subject 03Strategic leadership
He did an outstanding job strategically driving results that directly impacted the company's trajectory. Preston has a rare ability to see both the big picture and the small details, adjusting on the fly for a high-growth SaaS company.
Leigh Anne WhiteVP Finance, PropStream

As a manager, Preston provided me with the autonomy I needed while always making himself available to collaborate, elevate ideas, and get hands-on when needed.
