Hey,I'm Bud.

Let's grab some tea

Tea first —² then the work and a few people who can vouch for it.

   There’s always a way in.

   My first marketing job came from a strange little trade. Five Super Nintendo games for a five-minute interview with GaryVee.³ I learned early that the non-obvious path is often the one worth trying.

   At Mercury, I’d bring that same instinct to creating useful content, spotting stories worth telling, and finding better ways to reach people making important decisions about their work and money.

   Good content, like good tea, needs the right conditions.

   At CXL, I managed the freelancer relationships, publishing calendar, editing, and quality bar that kept the content engine moving. At MoonPay, I was one of the first marketing hires and helped lay the foundation for content.

   I'm well equipped to help Mercury strengthen the day-to-day operations behind its content and build systems that scale the work without losing what makes it worth consuming.

   Every reader needs a different pour.

   The best content rarely serves just one audience. For Schwab Crypto^™ and thinkorswim, I write for the investor skimming on a phone and the legal team reading line by line. The same content has to work for both.

   Mercury’s readers start in different places, want different things, and have different experiences with money. I’d meet them where they are and keep raising their expectations.

   This feels like my kind of place.

   The tea ritual says something small but meaningful about Mercury's culture. The work matters, and so do the people making it. Mercury is at an incredibly exciting stage, especially as it works to become a bank. This is exactly the kind of team I want to join, and my kettle is already on.
