<aside> 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Max, a Community Builder based in San Diego, CA
I have been in the community space for over 5 years and I currently work at Square as their Community Engagement Program Manager. Prior to this, I led Community at SuperHi, Creative Mornings, and Freelance Founders.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I got my bearings in the community industry by happenstance - a happy accident stemming from job burnout, loneliness, and wanting a career reset after spending nearly 10 years in marketing and advertising ranging from music labels, agencies, and my own freelance business.
Beyond working in the community space, I am a writer and public speaker. I’m very passionate about advocating for limb different people and am on the board of the non-profit organization Design With Us, and a volunteer coach with Nubability.
I'm always excited to connect with fellow community builders and anyone passionate about this space. Whether you're looking to exchange ideas, explore collaboration opportunities, or simply share your experiences, please always feel free to reach out.
I’m also open to speaking and consulting opportunities, send me a message and we’ll connect more!
