John Gormally

Digital Marketing Strategist | SEO, AEO, Email, Field Marketing & Content
Oro Valley, Arizona

John Gormally is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and MBA who spent 28 years in enterprise cybersecurity and IT before turning to digital marketing. He builds growth programs that cover the full loop, from getting found to getting believed.

For a Phoenix-area MSP, John's SEO and AEO strategy took the company from position #45 to #2 for "Top MSP for Healthcare in Phoenix." Paired with field marketing events, the program generated 500+ leads and nearly $250,000 in ARR pipeline.

Writing as Patrick Greenwood, John is the award-winning author of the Jack Kendall thriller series. Each book supports a veterans' or humanitarian cause, including 20% of Red Scorpion: Rising sales to the Wounded Warrior Project. He has spoken at ISSA and ISACA events.

In 2019, after 28 years in enterprise cybersecurity and technology sales, John Gormally made two decisions at once: to build a digital marketing practice of his own, and to start writing fiction. CycleWriterLLC grew out of that same year — channeling decades of technical fluency and storytelling instinct into work that helps MSPs and SMBs get found, and into the Jack Kendall thriller series he writes as Patrick Greenwood. The two halves of the business were never really separate; the same instinct for translating complex, technical subject matter into something people actually want to read runs through both.
