About
A bike-share company from thesis to a City of Tampa contract. The operations of a two-state law practice. A 162-article compliant legal-marketing program. I'm looking for a director-level business development and growth role at a small company, where I can find the partners and channels and build the systems that turn them into revenue.
I turned my master's thesis into myBike, a bike-share startup that became Tampa Bay Bike Share, and I signed the contract with the City of Tampa. From there I moved into operations and marketing at Wilcox Law, the firm my wife, Lisa Renee Wilcox, ran. As its Chief Operating Officer I built the firm's website, CRM and compliance software, and ran a legal-marketing program written to meet state and federal advertising rules.
That work became the foundation for Keylink Agency, the SEO and digital marketing company I run with my brother Tero, working with brands from pet products to online retail. The full details are on the resume page.
My story began in Florida, where I was born to US Navy parents, Warren and Kathy. We bounced from Hawaii to California to Maine and finally to Texas, just in time for DFW to enter a decades-long boom.
This was in 3rd grade, and I was tossed into a brand new situation — farm life in Pilot Point, Texas. Cows, chickens, hay, and our family garden got us started, and we've had to learn each of them, the hard way.
After high school I went to the University of North Texas. I also took enough German classes to test as "fluent" — deshalb darfst du mir ein Bier einkaufen!
In Florida I met a wonderful woman, Lisa Renee Wilcox, and I went on to work on her firm's operations and marketing. We planned the most wonderful wedding at the Plantation Inn in Crystal River, and a warm reception followed at Feather Sound Country Club. Then along came Jackson.
In 2026 I closed the firm and arranged care for my wife. Family support is in place, and I'm available full time. Her site, lisareneewilcox.com, is now an archive of her past work.
Because I love my land, my clean air, and the abundant wildlife that live with me, I write occasional guides on farming, aquaponics, native birds, honeybees, tools, home repair, solar energy, and more — the tried-and-true blended with a little high-tech automation. You can read them in the archive.
Thanks for stopping by.
