DC is the CEO and co-founder of FMG. For more than two decades, he’s been building technology that helps financial professionals grow their businesses and communicate more clearly with the people they serve.

He began his career in financial services in 2002 at 50 Below, where he served as Head of Product and Engineering. In that role, DC built and led the teams responsible for launching some of the industry’s earliest large-scale website programs, supporting firms like Salomon Smith Barney, Ameriprise Financial, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, R.W. Baird, Janney Montgomery Scott, Hilliard Lyons, and RBC Wealth Management.

In 2006, DC left 50 Below to co-found Versimark, the same year he moved his young family to Sierra Leone to finalize an adoption. That move meant 36-hour flights and splitting his time between Africa and the U.S., building a company one long commute at a time. Versimark evolved into a SaaS digital marketing platform powering more than 20,000 websites for organizations such as Farmers Insurance, American Family Insurance, and Farm Bureau Financial Services.

In 2011, Versimark was acquired and became the foundation for FMG.

As CEO, DC is ultimately responsible for FMG’s vision, strategy, and culture. He works closely with the leadership team to set direction, guide the long-term evolution of the business toward AI-first marketing technology that drives measurable organic growth for advisors and enterprise firms, and build teams that care deeply about both craft and customers.

DC’s connection to Sierra Leone continued well beyond that first move. In 2007, he launched a direct micro-loan program supporting local entrepreneurs. In 2013, he founded Neba, a housing initiative created to meet the housing needs of people who had spent their lives investing in their communities. In 2015, he helped establish a care center for children orphaned by the Ebola crisis.

He and his wife are raising twelve children, seven through adoption. When he’s not working, you might find DC hiking, cheering on his kids at sporting events, attending the theater, jeeping in the desert, eating good food slowly, or becoming, as Byron once suggested, friends with mountains.
