Why Every Small Business Needs a Web Strategy, Not Just a Website
A website without a strategy is a billboard in the desert. Here's what actually moves the needle for small businesses trying to grow online.
Building digital experiences, telling stories, and connecting people through the intersection of business and sport.
I'm the CEO and founder of Basch Solutions, a full-service digital and web agency based in Sarasota, Florida. I also co-founded Graystorm — a development, consulting, and engineering firm built on decades of hands-on engineering, now amplified by AI.
On the side, I host BASCHAMANIA, a wrestling podcast where I sit down with the biggest names in the sport — Olympic champions, NCAA legends, and the next generation of competitors. I also provide weekly commentary and analysis alongside Willie Saylor of MatScouts. Wrestling shaped who I am, and the podcast lets me stay connected to the community that gave me so much.

Visit SiteEverything I have and everything I am is because of Jesus Christ. That's not a tagline — it's the truth of my life. There was a time when none of this existed — no businesses, no podcast, no clarity about where I was headed. But God had a plan even when I couldn't see it, and He has been faithful every step of the way.
But for the grace of God, there go I. I don't say that lightly. I know what my life looks like without Him, and I know what He's made it into. He took the broken pieces and built something I never could have built on my own. Every opportunity, every relationship, every door that's opened — that's His hand at work. I'm just grateful to be along for the ride.
"He has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecclesiastes 3:11
