Neighbors who have done this. A lot.
Before any of the corporate stuff, James bounced around. He baled hay, washed dishes, delivered pizza. He had jobs in coffee shops, bakeries, vacuum stores, flower shops. He drove parking lot shuttles. He played piano in the background at restaurants. He hammered yard signs for local realtors and did inventory for local manufacturers.
Then he spent 15 years building revenue engines. Startups at $200k. Mid-market businesses scaling fast. Enterprises worth more than $1B. Sales, marketing, ops, tech. The work behind the work, at every size.
Now he's back where he started. Helping the restaurants, the trades, and the services where he used to clock in. James builds your systems, runs your strategy, and makes sure the back office actually works.
Keenan is the first person you'll meet from Grow512. She's the one who walks into your shop, sits down at your counter, and starts the conversation about what you actually need.
Before Grow512, she worked in sales, marketing, and customer onboarding, setting up clients with automated email and social media systems. That's where she and James met, years ago, working sales roles side by side.
She spent the last eight years raising a gaggle of kids in Georgetown, which means she already knows your neighborhood. She's in the Grace Academy pickup line, the GYBA little league stands, the book clubs, and the church potlucks at Light of Christ.
But don't you dare call it networking! She just lives here.
Once your systems are built and running, Keenan is your ongoing point of contact. She checks in, makes sure things are working, and makes sure you never feel like you got handed off and forgotten.
