Carla Kage

I'm the Owner and Chief Operations Officer of Middle Man Consulting, where I combine creativity, strategy, technology, and a passion for helping small businesses grow.
 

I've always been someone who gives 100% to everything I do. When I encounter a challenge, I don't back away from it—I learn, research, study, and work until I understand it. That mindset has shaped both my personal and professional journey.
 

My educational background includes an Associate Degree in Business Administration and Marketing, Bachelor's Degrees in Marketing and Music, and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. While my career originally began in education, teaching and helping others learn remains one of the greatest influences on how I serve clients today.
 

When our son asked me to homeschool him in 2023, I stepped away from the classroom and focused on my family. During that time, my husband encouraged me to help with marketing and social media for some local businesses. What started as a small project quickly grew into something much bigger. Through hard work, continuous learning, innovation, and a commitment to delivering results, Middle Man Consulting was born.
 

Today, I have the privilege of partnering with small business owners across a variety of industries. I understand the challenges that come with building a business because I've lived them myself. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a client gain momentum, attract new customers, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
 

Outside of business, I am first and foremost a wife and mom. My husband and I are blessed to be raising two incredible boys who keep life busy and full of adventure. Our oldest son is involved in Junior ROTC and is preparing for a future of military service and leadership, we are so very proud. Our youngest is passionate about sports, especially baseball, and approaches life with energy, determination, and a big heart.
 

At the end of the day, I love helping people. Whether it's building a website, creating a marketing strategy, improving online visibility, or helping a business owner navigate the next stage of growth, my goal is simple: provide honest guidance, work hard, and deliver results that matter.
