Team
Performance Marketers With Creative Flair
We’re a group of fast moving marketers with a strong understanding of conversion focused design.
We choose to focus on just a few clients at a time. This way, we can dedicate the resources
it takes to thoroughly understand and grow them to their fullest potential.
We help educate, fuel, and build long lasting relationships with the clients we work with.
Oh, and we have a ton of fun too.
Graham Ahner
Team Director
You might wonder why Graham looks like an innocent millennial who was born in St. Louis, Missouri, moved to Denver, and then moved to Orange County, CA, right?
We wondered the same thing – but those looks truly deceive.
What you don’t know is that Graham was the lead singer of screamo band, “The Brothers”, and made a smash hit with Daniel and Cameron that topped the Billboard 100 in Kyrgyzstan.
So what’s he doing now?
Saving up for these sick New Balances with VELCRO® straps.
Stone Alvaro
Brand Videographer
Stone actually looks decently attractive in his picture, but what you don’t know, is that his real name is “Jan”.
“Jan” which is short for “Janet” was a highly popular name back in 1956 – so today, we just call him Stone.
Why?
No one really knows, and it’s too awkward to ask, but it sounded cool when he introduced himself that way.
Tyler Bales
Lead Designer
Some say Tyler looks like Anthony Hopkins, but we say he looks like that guy riding a horse with no saddle (you know, the jeans and no shirt guy).
When he’s not on a horse, he hangs with his Siberian Husky named Luna, which means “moon” in Latin – which is also the distance of the high she gets from eating all the ping pong balls in the office.
But enough about Tyler, his brother’s wife is a YouTube make-up celebrity named Arlyne Sanjines.
Justin Briones
Account Coordinator
For someone who looks like they just let out a soft little fart, Justin is incredibly kind.
He shares his workout knowledge with others at the office while proclaiming to have been part of two music videos.
Where are those videos? He won’t tell us.
But we for sure know that it’s not Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande.
Conor would’ve told us.
Dalton Buckingham
Production Artist
Being the office DJ and production artist, Dalton has a second and more lucrative gig being the official Costco Kirkland Shampoo & Conditioner spokesperson (for their clinical trials – he’s done around 72 tests).
But when we do have him in the office, you’ll find him taking solo tequila shots – especially if it’s a rough day or a good day. And that makes us all happy.
When he’s not testing new products or being at the office, you’ll find him teaching our CEO how to kick flip.
It’s been a long journey, and we’re nowhere close to having Johnathan land the kick flip, and our sales are taking a hit with the distraction.
We’re not sure if he was hired for kick flipping or actual work – still trying to understand.
If someone is reading this, please help.
Bobby Burkitt, Jr
Account Manager
Have you ever met a Guinness World Record holder in person?
Well technically you’re reading this online, so you have yet to experience the amazing experience of meeting Bobby in person – the man who only wears black UNIQLO® t-shirts with 12 pairs of the same Vintage Wash Distressed Khakis in Slim Fit with GapFlex (different colors though).
Is Bobby a boring person?
Nah.
The dude worked at Dollar Shave Club for four years and never shaved once.
Don’t believe us? That’s him driving the forklift at the 32 second mark.
Talk about a badass.
Harrison Carroll
Senior Account Manager
As a former elite high school volleyball player, you’d think that Harrison likes all things that are round and bouncy. But that’s not always the case.
See, Harrison’s guilty pleasure is watching River Monsters on every first date – and that’s mainly why he’s never gone on a second date.
But don’t let the stylish watch fool you – he spends all his money on Fortnite tutorials and recently asked Johnathan to upgrade his computer storage because he’s about to make it big on Twitch.
Kyle Cavaness
Content Writer
Supposedly, Kyle plays bass and keyboard for Long Beach’s own The Vespertines… while also playing keyboards for keywords at KlientBoost (badum tss).
The band played at SXSW in 2017, but we still think they might be made up since he never invites us to shows.
He also wants the world to know that he drives a stick shift, and thinks everyone else should know how to too.
That, and he’s in the top 1% of Pocket readers worldwide. (But that’s not that hard since only 13 people use Pocket.)
Marcelle Cordova
Conversion Designer
It’s not often you find a person doing goat yoga while having Hot Cheeto™ fingers.
But then again, it’s not often that you find a person who eats string cheese in bites while binge watching doomsday preppers on YouTube.
Who is that person you ask?
It’s Marcelle.
Marcelle, the girl who has a guys’ name that’s been to 19 different countries inside the game of Grand Theft Auto.
Jennifer Chambers
Office Manager
Jenn is a humongous fan of country music, and because of that, we’re restricting her bio to just one sentence.
Nick Covello
Senior Account Manager
Nick has played for as many baseball teams as the amount of gold chains he wears around his New Jerseyan neck.
Don’t believe us?
You can see him here, here, here, here, here, here, here, aaaaand here.
Now, he’s just burly AF and works on his forearms for about 83 minutes/day (Monday through Thursday).
Impressed?
You shouldn’t be. The guy has 21 fleece Patagonia pullovers that are all identical.
Spencer Currie
Team Director
Not to be confused with Steph Curry, Spencer is 6’7″, but unfortunately doesn’t play basketball.
He also doesn’t play ping pong (that well) – currently 2nd in the office to Johnathan.
But what he is great at is eating Chick-fil-A while watching chic flicks (he has a top 20 list that’s unbeatable).
He also enjoys blowing bubbles with his tongue while doing PPC work.
Johnathan Dane
Founder/CEO
Johnathan is a PPC lover and conversion rate fighter, spending most of his time in the trenches.
He’s an international speaker, who’s also a little too obsessed with Pellegrino sparkling water (something that he buys by the pallet at Costco).
He thinks he’s famous, but we write him reality checks every day.
Michael Dunsterville
Lead Production Artist
If there’s a person you’d want to have on your gameshow team, it’s Michael.
For a guy that knows too many useless and random facts, Michael takes the cake.
But he also takes the ice cream. Because as a child, he used to rob the freezer and hide behind the door, hoping no one would catch him.
Today, he helps the design team with production, while sometimes touching his own butt (as you can see in this picture).
Kim Fitkin
VP of Client Services
You wouldn’t believe this, there’s an even rarer form of vegan/cross-fitter.
We call it the vegan/Spartan-racer.
Being the first of three Fitkins who are part of the KlientBoost family, Kim has blazed her own trail with her own Spartan Race® tow hitch (she asked that to be part of her bio – see the problem we have to live with?)
Now being the mother of two boys, she continues to slack with the cooking at home by serving peanut butter & jelly sandwiches six out of the week’s seven days.
Do we judge her?
Most definitely.
Reese Garcia
Director of eCommerce PPC
There’s a dark secret that Reese doesn’t share with many people – He’s addicted to Olive Garden’s Fettuccine Alfredo.
His second dark secret is that he can spell “fettuccine” backwards, blindfolded, while hand standing on lego blocks.
His third darkest secret is that he once had a fauxhawk (this was him) – Yes, he was caucasian once.
Lastly, and this is no dark secret (he makes it very known) – he’s the world’s leading archivist of DJ Khaled Snapchat screenshots. He once wrote a novel. And he runs his own PPC podcast.
Gahdamn you busy Poppa Reese!
Charlie Gillies
Account Coordinator
Charlie Gillies (not to be confused with Charlie Gillespie, the hot actor from Charmed, nor Charlie Gilles, the geologist and PhD student researching slope stability) – our Charlie (the third most famous Charlie Gillies) is a retired professional baseball player.
Drafted in 2012 by the Detroit Tigers, we were able to offer him a better deal to strengthen our corporate softball team.
Before, we only won games by doing this.
What else does he do outside of work, you ask?
Olympic lifting and hair product testing (damn, that’s a sexy swoop).
P.S. Does anyone know how to pronounce his last name?
Beavis Hari
Senior Conversion Designer
Beavis is the type of guy that makes other guys look bad.
Other guys have a hard time just working out, but Beavis sports the strongest forehead on the planet (just look at that vein action).
But buffness aside, he’s an avid collector of board games and currently owns 2-3 pieces of leather clothing.
P.S. Here’s his secret forehead workout.
Yesenia Hernandez
Account Manager
Having never watched a single Star Wars film, Yesenia still impresses by having finished seven seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
At her wedding, herself and her bridesmaids choreographed the dance moves from “Thriller” to impress the guests. The only downside was that she accidentally performed at the wedding party next door to her own.
Today, she sports a swim certificate after learning how to just two years ago and takes pseudo-diving lessons with Conor (neither of them are going to the Olympics).
Wrap all that up with 200 pairs of shoes, all black.
Maleri Holley
Account Manager
Maleri has never lost a race.
Not this one, this one, this one, and she definitely won’t be losing this one (the old man is a representation of how Maleri will run when she’s older).
But when she’s not running, she’s eating peanut butter and jumping over fires during the Persian New Year to burn away her sins.
This is where she makes the very smart (and very conscious) decision to not fart at the same time.
Only because she wants to come home alive to her husband and two huskies.
Matthew Hurst
Account Manager
As the third Matt of the office, Hurst has had a hard time feeling included.
The good news is that he doesn’t let it deter his mozzarella stick eating abilities (real footage of him at his 5th birthday party).
Looking up to Lance Armstrong while growing up (not the doping part), Hurst is an avid cycler today.
You can tell he loves cycling from his frequent and aggressive sweat that can appear at any give time at the office – completely unannounced (genetic condition he got from his mom).
Also, he currently ranks 63rd on the KlientBoost ping pong leaderboard.
Cameron Lanzarotta
Business Development Representative
There’s a really good chance you’ve seen Cameron before.
In your rear-view mirror, because his Subaru STI is too slow to pass anyone. And if anyone drives 1 MPH above the speed limit, then he’ll pull to the side and let you pass.
Now before joining KlientBoost, he worked at Nespresso and was pumped with caffeine for about eight years.
Why?
Because he still DJs at children birthday parties that end around 8 PM on the weekends (real footage from one of his gigs).
Tyler Blueberry (lame joke, it’s Mabery)
Conversion Designer
An Orange County native, who has an unhealthy relationship with Pizza.
No, really.
He doesn’t just eat it, he also has a pizza tattoo (that’s the healthy part).
He’s been using Photoshop since middle school by creating band posters for his own band but now uses his efforts to be an online troll.
More of a troll than Jon Maher.
Nick Maglietta
Account Manager
As the second Italian Nick at the office, Maglietta doubles as a closet magician – and has promised to give his services at a discount for every holiday party we have.
If betting on sports while drinking Diet Coke® was a sport, Nick would probably be the best in the office.
But we keep telling him it’s not that impressive.
Do what Charlie does, and we can talk.
In his spare time, Nick loves a good shirt that actually fits him.
Sean Thomas Martin Junior III
Director of Content
Have you ever met a guy who has five first names as his full name?
Or five homemade tattoos on his body?
Neither had we, until Sean walked through our door. But to be honest, he’s a great guy – he just struggles big time when it comes to airport security.
Not only does he wear 17 rings on his fingers, he has about five toe rings, 22 keys on his keychain, and still carries loose change of around $73 in his left pocket.
Not to mention, his jeans are extremely tight.
That’s why no one wants to go on business trips with Sean (real footage of us getting low on blood sugar after following him through security).
Matt Meiresonne
Business Development Representative
For someone born in 13th century Europe, Matt is impressively skilled in modern day ping pong duels against Richard.
Once a victory is achieved, Matt enjoys cracking open a cold Coors Latté and kicking up his braies on the table while looking at the Medieval Times calendar for new events to attend.
Traveling all the way from ice cold Lake Michigan by rollerblades, Matt is an overly optimistic swimmer who once saved someone from drowning.
Today, he’s the official KlientBoost lifeguard, overseeing the aquatic activities of Yesenia and Conor.
*Matt was the second Matt hired
Lizz Metcalf
Conversion Designer
You know that disappointed face your mom makes when you do something stupid?
That’s the look Lizz was going for.
Not only does she do amazing reenactments, but she also…
Cosplays, plays the violin, gardens, eats food, composes electronically, plays Magic The Gathering (currently beating the CEO), speaks, breathes, aaaaaaannndddd…
She has a Steve Buscemi tattoo on her ankle. Just watch her 15 minutes of fame here.
BAM!
Mitchell Moore
Director of Agency Development
Have you ever known someone who’s really good at painting pictures, like, figuratively?
That’s Mitchell, the Mitch Buchanan of saving PPC accounts from their un-optimized death.
He can also run a “semi” 4-minute mile while licking his own elbow.
Worst thing though? Mitchell loves to tell riddles that he doesn’t know the answers to.
Conor Murphy
Director of Conversational Marketing
A previous competitive diver who unsuccessfully competed for a spot in the London Olympics (this was his personal best), Conor now spends most of his time singing Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande.
But how does a guy with the most Irish name ever thrive in Orange County?
Give him salt & vinegar chips, sprinkle in some Haribo gummy bears, and turn up the house music – that’s how.
Also, his favorite drag queens are Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamoldchikova.
Michael Musa
Senior Conversion Designer
If you take a close look. Like, a really close look.
Then you’ll notice the shine and sheen of Michael’s luscious locks.
Why are they so luscious? The secret lies within his mom & dad owning their own beauty salon.
Or maybe it’s his greasy hair from the lack of showering because he’s addicted to Pokémon?
We’ll never know.
Matt Nelson
Director of Paid Social
Have you ever worked with a celebrity? Neither has Matt, because he is one.
During his high school years, Matt was chosen to be on a popular (and undisclosed) MTV show. We have the proof.
If you ever catch him looking off into the distance, it’s either because he’s hungry or thinking of new PPC tricks.
PPC tricks that make more money.
Melissa Orellana
Account Executive
Okay, this is kind of awkward.
We’ve told Melissa repeatedly that we’re not a model agency, but a PPC agency – yet she keeps ignoring us.
Is she here for the right reasons? We’re not sure. But her Disney-esque singing and dancing has us all entertained, especially when Dave (our in-house realtor) joins her as well.
She tries to tell us that she’s an adrenaline junkie by showing us her jellyfish scars, but who the F has jellyfish scars?!
Oh, and she says she can beat you at a whistling contest.
Aaron Packard
Director of CRO
Born with three thumbs, Aaron is now the fastest two-thumb designer on the block. But this block isn’t that big.
He’s a Starbucks Gold Star member that loves petting dogs and sea urchins.
When he’s not designing super slick landing pages, you’ll find him petting sea urchins.
P.S. You read this whole thing not knowing that you can’t pet sea urchins.
Teresa Pham
Conversion Designer
Luke Roshon
Garlic Bread Specialist
If there’s one thing Luke loves, it’s G bread.
Even though he loves his comic books and anything that Kanye does, he puts G bread above it all.
Running the immensely popular Instagram account, Garlic Bread Squadron, Luke gets his meme inspiration from all around the clove.
He’s currently working on opening a Brazilian steakhouse, but with garlic bread skewers.
Jason Smith
Brand Designer/Illustrator/Animator
Jason Smith will throw you for a loop.
Think that his name means he’s American?
He’s British.
Think that his denim jacket means he can’t do any push ups?
He does one-fingered ones.
Think that because he doesn’t tuck his shirt in that he’s fat?
He hasn’t had sugar for seven years.
Think he has a well balanced diet?
He doesn’t – he eats yams everyday.
Think that he wishes he was as cool as Jason Statham?
He actually does.
And no, he’s not 7’6″ – we just wrote him a long bio.
Sara Smith
Production Artist
As the only person without health insurance at the office, Sara is proud of the fact that she has never run a mile.
We’ll never know if she qualifies.
So instead, we bubble wrap her on the daily and fill her up with unlimited amounts of pasta (just so her insides and outsides are soft enough to protect herself).
Is it a good use of our time?
Yes.
Austin Spikes
Director of Partnerships
Austin Spikes sounds like a super hero name, not some green leprechaun that works at an office.
Think he’s not a leprechaun?
Then how do you explain the pot of gold he eats every night that he calls ice cream?
Or the fact that he puts hot sauce on everything, included his red facial hair?
Some things just don’t add up, especially when he says he’s a brunette.
You don’t look like a lady to us, Austin.
Grant Templeton
Account Manager
For someone who loves to cross their arms, Grant is uniquely good at it.
You’ll notice that the black lines on his sleeves are actual 90 degree guides to make sure he has the perfect bend at any given time.
He’s currently teaching us many of the different styles.
Being 42 years old, Grant spends most of his office time in the massage chair because he climbs grocery store shelves and mountains on the regular.
Oh, and he used to be a Grandmaster Overwatch player.
But now he’s just too old for screens.
Tiffany Tran
Senior Conversion Designer
But remove the shower and replace it with a bar and a serious karaoke setup.
For someone who wanted to be a zookeeper, then a vet, and then a designer, we’re pretty sure we got Tiffany to join our squad at just the right time.
Truth is, when you get someone who can design and sing like she can, you know you have conversion unicorn.
Richard Uruchurtu
VP of Operations
If there’s one thing you should never do with Richard, it’s watch Hotline Bling by Drake.
Richard loves music videos, but will tear them apart for their lack of execution. Similarly to what he does with a PPC account.
But if you want to get on his good side, then bring him fish tacos.
Richard can’t resist them tacos (and yes that is his dog).
P.S. His first name is pronounced “RICH-urd”
Kimball Vaughn
Account Coordinator
Born and raised in Utah, Kimball got the short end of the stick when his LDS church sent him on a mission… to Salt Lake City.
Not to be discouraged and not far from home (he literally lived two blocks down), Kimball started working on another passion of his – cooking meatball alfredo subs with homemade french fries (this is him, but not his hand).
Has he opened his own restaurant yet?
Of course not.
He’s sprinkling some seasoning on PPC accounts instead.
Brodan White
Account Coordinator
Brodan is your typical, “shop-at-baby-GAP-for-t-shirts”, Central Illinois kinda guy.
Other than the manbun and his 32,000 YouTube subscribers that love his comedy (edit: his follower count has dropped), he’s pretty boring.
Does he look like someone who just finished his mechanics degree at UTI*?
Maybe, but we love him since he’s the only one willing to sit at the desk with the glaring afternoon sun.
*Not the infection, but Universal Technical Institute
Chelsea Woods
Senior Account Manager
It’s not everyday that you find someone who has ancestors that brought oranges to California.
Or someone who’s a baller at calligraphy.
That’s Chelsea, a 5 year PPC veteran who likes to live dangerously by experimenting with different types of Lattés.
She looks sweet, but if you let her loose at Target, things might get a little cray.
Tanner
Office Mascot
Furry friends should be mandatory in all offices.
Tanner is our office pooch, a close friend who’s always ready to give you what you need; a warm kiss (with a little bit of tongue).
Every time a new client signs up, part of that money goes to Tanner’s dinosaur bone addiction.
Are we investing our money wisely?
Probably not.
Want to work with Tanner?
Good —— You shouldn’t… Dogs don’t make good PPC Managers.
That’s what we’re here for!
