Newsletter

If you decide to join the monthly newsletter via any of the many sign-up forms located throughout this website, your first name and email address are required. I require your email address to send you the emails and your first name so that my emails to you will include a friendly personalized note.

At the bottom of every email I send, you will find a link to unsubscribe. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

I currently use GoHighLevel as my email service provider. Your data is collected and then passed to them. Tags are used within GoHighLevel to track your actions and page visits so that future emails can be better tailored to meet your needs.

Currently, I send an average of two emails per month. However, I will occasionally email you about products and other promotions that may be relevant to your interests.

I hate spam just as much as you, so rest assured your email and name will never be sold or given away to a third party.

All emails you receive are CAN-SPAM compliant. At the bottom of every email, you will find information on how to contact the sender and how to unsubscribe.
