Meet Benny
I started this company because I believe local businesses deserve to be seen. You’re doing great work — people just need to find you.
Fun Fact:
I moved every single year from sixth to twelfth grade because my parents were blackjack dealers. Ask me about it sometime.
About Me
Who am I ?
Good Things To know!
I started Ascendo Social to help people in DFW find success on the internet. There are so many incredible businesses doing amazing work, but if they’re not showing up online, no one sees it. I wanted to change that.
I’ve been working in digital marketing for almost ten years now. It started with a simple Google search about passive income and turned into a full-on career. Since then, I’ve built websites, grown YouTube channels, ranked content on Google, and managed just about every kind of campaign. That experience helps me look at social media not just as content, but as part of a bigger strategy.
I’m always thinking about how to solve problems creatively. I like structure, but I also like zigzagging through different ideas to see what sticks. I get the most energy from meeting people, learning their stories, and figuring out how to help them grow. That part never gets old.
When I’m not working, I’m probably playing Pickleball. I would play every day if I could. I also love volleyball, poker, traveling, hiking, skateboards, cruise ships, and anything that gets me moving or competing. I don’t sit still for long.
