Hey There,

I’m Max!

Owner | Founder

Born and raised in Alaska, I know firsthand that marketing here isn’t the same as in big cities. What works in national markets doesn’t always land the same way. People here value authenticity, real connections, and brands that understand their audience. That’s where I come in.

Experience

I started in the agency world, managing social media, content creation, and digital strategy for some of Alaska’s largest telecommunications providers, tourism organizations, and advocacy groups. I built high-impact campaigns, fine-tuned messaging for different audiences, and created content that actually drives engagement, not just noise.

My background isn’t just in marketing, but also in biology, which might seem unexpected, but it’s been an asset. I earned dual degrees in Marketing and Biology from Gonzaga University, giving me both the creative and analytical mindset to approach digital strategy differently. Marketing is about understanding behavior, and Biology trained me to analyze patterns, data, and decision-making at a deeper level.

Beyond agency life, I’ve built my own network across Alaska. As a DJ, I’ve played everywhere from packed-out clubs to community events working with small businesses, concert promoters, and creatives across the state. That experience gave me firsthand insight into what makes people engage, show up, and take action.

Why Summit Media?

Big-brand strategy. Small-business execution. Summit Media is built to get results without the fluff. Whether you’re a local business trying to break through or a brand looking to scale, I know how to position you for real impact.

On a personal note…

I’m a big fan of Adidas, sugar-free Red Bull, and sushi. :)
