Fast Track Marketing Team
Doug Sims
A marketing consultant with over 35 years of experience in sales, sales management and marketing in the office equipment, semiconductor, technology licensing and refractive surgery fields. Doug served as Division Manager for Lanier Worldwide, before becoming Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Gradco Systems, Inc. and then later, DP-TEK, Inc. During Doug's twelve years with Lanier Worldwide, he worked extensively with medical practices and hospitals on improving their internal practices and efficiency.
After the acquisition of his company by HP, Doug became an independent marketing consultant for Hewlett Packard, Texas Instruments, and other semiconductor and software development companies, until founding Fast Track Marketing in 2003.
Doug recognized that most refractive practices have a relatively informal sales process and little or no formal sales management system. With a background of over 35 years of sales and sales management experience and more than five years of working with refractive sales counselors, Doug led his team’s development and leads the delivery of a formal sales training course for refractive sales counselors.
Fast Track Marketing now employs a full team of highly skilled marketing specialists and is delivering comprehensive marketing and sales training services which results in increased patient flow and profitability for its Refractive Surgery, vision care, and aesthetics clients.
Doug is married and has 5 grown children and four grandchildren. He and his wife, Gigi, enjoy mountain hiking, scuba diving, biking and golfing, when time permits.
Brandi
Prior to coming to Fast Track Marketing, Brandi worked in a LASIK practice for 10 years. She brings with her an experience and knowledge that you only get when you work in a practice. Brandi went from helping one practice grow to helping hundreds! Since she has joined Fast Track Marketing in 2010, she has helped several practices realize their potential. She has an extremely good work ethic, probably due to the fact that she grew up on a ranch in Nebraska. That coupled with her enthusiasm to help practices makes for a very comforting combination when doctors talk to her.
In her free time, she loves to spend time with her wonderful husband and little boy. Brandi loves to go golfing, skiing, playing with their two Border Collies, or just hanging out.
Cuinn (like Quinn, but with a ‘C’)
Graduated from the University of Nebraska Lincoln with a BS in Marketing and a minor in History. He lived in Los Angeles for awhile, where he worked for California Wood Products as the Director of Marketing. Then he became a Senior Sales Consultant for Intuit Payroll Services until the mountains persuaded Cuinn to move to Colorado. Before working for Fast Track Marketing, Cuinn was also the District Sales Manager for Mosaic Employer Solutions.
Cuinn provides an exhaustive appetite for learning and trying new things in marketing. His can-do attitude and strong work ethic provide Fast Track Marketing’s clients the speed and confidence that they come to depend on with Fast Track Marketing.
David

James
With a BA in Communication Design from Metro State College, James has not only brought excellent design skills to Fast Track Marketing – he has also brought with him a wealth of design expertise. Throughout his career, James has learned how to create camera-ready art for numerous substrates that are not generally taught in college (ceramics, glass, cloth, etc).

Jonna has a personal knowledge of our clients and is constantly providing valuable client management to all of our customers. Her thorough attention and straight-forward attitude with media and advertising reps puts her client’s heartburn to ease.
Josh
A University of Wyoming transplant, making his name in Buffalo country. You should see his cowboy boots shine in the rocky mountain sunshine. He is our multi-functional, utility player. If you can name it, he will do it. With his energetic personality, it is no wonder he has found a home at Fast Track Marketing.
When he is not working his magic, developing new leads for clients, you can find him on the golf course. With aspirations to retire into a golf professional career, you will no doubt see him out-driving Tiger Woods soon enough. Our resident social media guru, can turn an average online presence into a social hub for your community and LASIK family.
