Hi, I’m James Crowe, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Coastside Media. As a key leader in operations and team management, I thrive on creating systems that empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to achieve their marketing goals. At Coastside Media, I work alongside talented individuals like Bill Brooks and Jeff Baker, ensuring we leverage decades of collective expertise to deliver transparent, simplified strategies tailored to our clients.

Apart from my professional endeavors, I’m an adventurer at heart. I actively blog about my experiences in endurance races, like the upcoming The Last Desert 2024 in Antarctica. These adventures highlight my resilience and pioneering spirit, qualities I bring into my leadership role and align closely with Coastside Media’s values of embracing challenges and dreaming big.

While my professional base ties me to the Golden Coast of California, I love blending my passion for exploration with the creative vibe of this region. If I’m not strategizing with my team, you’ll likely find me chasing new horizons, whether it’s through endurance racing or enjoying the beauty of coastal life. 🌊🐧
