About

Two careers, one company, built for businesses like yours.

Ascent Cortex exists because we kept seeing the same thing: hardworking local businesses losing real money to problems that good technology and good marketing could fix — but the firms that offer those things either don’t understand small business or charge like you’re a Fortune 500. We decided to bring that level of capability down to where it’s actually needed.

Marketing & Growth

Leads strategy, messaging, and everything that turns your systems into booked jobs and returning customers — built on a career in brand and paid-media marketing for recognized brands. [Personal bio to come.]

Technology & AI

Craig brings 30 years of enterprise IT infrastructure and hands-on experience building AI-driven business processes. He builds the systems that capture your leads and run your automations — reliably, securely, and quietly in the background. [Personal bio to come.]

What we believe

  • Recovery before spend. We earn your trust with money you’re already losing before we ever ask you to invest in growth.
  • Built to run, not to impress. Our systems are made to work every day, not to look good in a demo.
  • Founder-led. You always work with us directly.
