Meet Harrison

Harrison brings Realized's marketing strategy to life, overseeing the visual brand, creative media, information architecture, marketing system technologies, and the AI-augmented workflows that extend the team's capabilities. The approach is grounded in a human-in-the-loop model that keeps expert judgment at every critical step. His primary goal is to give Realized clients a great user experience.

Harrison brings three decades of experience in multimedia production, e-commerce systems, and user-based web applications. Prior to Realized, Harrison co-created one of the earliest SaaS membership management systems with Realized's CFO, David Dahill. That instinct for building functional systems now extends into AI — he designs and operates agentic automation frameworks that run research, content workflows, and operational processes across the marketing function. Harrison holds a BFA from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He was a lecturer at the Colorado Institute of Art, and also studied at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

In his free time, Harrison enjoys riding motorcycles and spending as much time as possible in his small maker space, usually with his dog Biz close by. Blending professional skills with personal passions, he's constantly exploring technology, photography, video, and building tangible things from a variety of materials. Originally from El Paso, he's called the Austin area home since 2005, witnessing the growth and transformation of a remarkable city.

  • One of his first jobs was raking sand-traps and bunkers on a public golf course every morning at 6 am.

About Transparency

I enjoy having a heightened sense of transparency across the organization. Collectively, we measure this through accountability, honesty, and authenticity. To me, this is the stimulus for better decisions being made and better outcomes. Trust and mutual respect simply follow.
