I developed a site that analyzes the online value of SLS skaters. As an avid believer in the power of social media influencers, I consider it the most vital outlet for any brand, event, or sport aiming to generate revenue in today's world. It's all about that engagement rate! If you don't think I am a fit for an open position at Thrill One, I would love to discuss building this out to include every entity that you manage. For those who appreciate stats, this site clearly highlights which athletes have the most influence to grow the brand and identifies those who may be less beneficial from a social media perspective.

I have a passion for numbers, charts, creating dynamic spreadsheets, and organizing data in a way that helps people visualize their current situation, potential, and missed opportunities. Numbers are powerful and honest; the goal is to gather ideas and find solutions that drive the metrics in the desired direction.

We can add/remove/customize the metrics in any way you see fit. I firmly believe that in 2024 and beyond, the ROI of social media influencers will surpass all other advertising outlets.
