The unflappable Preston brings a contagious energy to everything he does—a fascinating contrast for someone so even-tempered. As the team lead for Geear’s B2B marketing division, he guides a talented group of strategists and specialists, balancing leadership with hands-on involvement. When an idea strikes, he dives in with enthusiasm and focus, fully immersing himself in the work. Equally comfortable in analytical deep dives or creative brainstorming sessions, Preston moves fluidly between left-brain precision and right-brain imagination. He thrives on collaboration, loves building relationships with clients, and brings an unwavering work ethic to every project.

Preston launched his marketing career in the late 2000s, working with B2B accounting and law firms in Richmond, Virginia. In 2014, he transitioned to the agency world with Impression Marketing, where he quickly found his stride helping businesses grow through digital strategy. Two years later, Impression Marketing merged with WebStrategies, marking the start of a new chapter in his career. In 2025, WebStrategies rebranded as Geear, where Preston now leads the B2B team.

His extraordinary hobbies, such as beekeeping and spearfishing, make this Eagle Scout an interesting human being indeed. No client topic is boring to Preston as he delves into B2B businesses with full force in an ongoing effort to always be a more effective marketer and better serve his clients. Preston brings, above all else, a dedication to his clients that is beyond reproach. When Preston takes on a new client, he makes their passion his own.

"The interesting thing about working at Geear is how much I’ve learned since I came on board and how much I continue to learn about my clients' businesses, which are mostly B2B and manufacturing. There's nothing quite like throwing on a hard hat and walking the floor of a manufacturing plant to learn about a process first hand," commented Preston.

Creating a B2B marketing strategy for a client takes dedication and passion, as well as the ability to stop, review results, and adjust accordingly. Preston demonstrates all of these qualities as he works diligently to create strategies for his clients that drive leads, improve SEO, and help convert leads into sales. He is also passionate about sharing with prospective clients the positive impact that digital marketing can have on their business, and helps find those that would benefit most from Geear's services.

Preston spends his free time in the great outdoors with his wife Cate, daughter Taylor, and dog Blue. From hiking and kayaking to hunting ducks and spearing fish, Preston is always up for an adventure, but never misses an opportunity to knock the tennis ball around with Cate or Blue! If you catch him on a rainy day, Preston welcomes challengers to the games of backgammon or foosball.
