SKYLER MALLEY

SKYLER MALLEY

Founder & SEO Expert

Firestarter Founder and Owner, Skyler, was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado. After studying web design from BYU Idaho in 2009, Skyler was in need of his first client. Realizing his father had owned a printing business for over thirty years but never had a website, Skyler began working on putting together the Rolls Royce of websites for his old man. When the website went live after a few months of hard work, he ran into an issue: no one was visiting the website. Realizing that having the perfect website simply isn’t enough to have people find your business, Skyler began educating himself on ways to increase organic web traffic and very quickly found himself walking down the road of digital marketing. Thus, Firestarter was born.

Nowadays, Skyler is known within the company as the man you can always lean on when you need a fresh pair of eyes on a clients’ campaign. His values are the same as the company’s: transparency, personal growth, educated strategy, hard work, and finally servant leadership. An expert SEO guru by trade and hobby, he’s built a name for himself in all things digital marketing by understanding that no one campaign is the same. When asked what he likes about digital marketing, Skyler is quick to say that it keeps you “on your toes” because in this business there’s simply a lot of trial and error. Because the internet and search engine algorithms are constantly evolving, it’s important to stay up to date with the changes to ensure that our clients are getting the most out of their investment.

Outside of the office, Skyler is a big fan of coaching his son’s Little League baseball team. On top of that you can find him playing softball, reading just about anything, working out, collecting watches, hanging out with his family.

KYLE CARNEY

KYLE CARNEY

Partner, Director Of Sales

Kyle was the first employee hired to join the Firestarter team. When our founder, Skyler, had grown the business to the point where he simply couldn’t handle the full workload alone he felt that it was the right time to bring on a dedicated account manager. Since then, and with the company continuing to grow, Kyle has moved into a sales director role, managing our killer team of account managers and expert search engine optimizers while also moonlighting as company CFO.

Show More


Hailing from beautiful Littleton, Colorado in the southern Denver suburbs, Kyle has worked in marketing services since 2011 before moving into a strictly digital marketing role when joining the company in 2016. When asked what he likes about working in SEO and digital marketing as a whole, Kyle says “the concept of inbound marketing makes so much sense. Getting your business in front of people who are actively looking for your services can serve as a major catalyst for growth. Especially when compared to traditional forms of marketing.”

While he may not agree with this statement, the team at Firestarter see’s Kyle as captain of the company cheerleading squad, always there to give everyone a little extra kick of motivation on a daily basis. Kyle is also known within the company as a man with high standards and conviction that he attributes his and the company’s success to. Above all, he finds that integrity is the most important quality we have as a business within an industry that unfortunately doesn’t have the best reputation all the time. On top of integrity, Kyle believes that our educational sales process, data driven strategy, and a true partnership approach with our clients is what makes Firestarter the most unique and trustworthy SEO firm in the industry.

When he’s not working, Kyle can be found hunting and fly fishing in the beautiful Colorado backcountry, fine tuning his expertise in quality meat smoking, cheering on the Broncos, Avs, Nuggets, and Rockies, and reading just about any science fiction and fantasy book series he’s working on.

JEFF PORTER

JEFF PORTER

Partner, Director Of Operations

Jeff was born in Denver and grew up in Littleton, Colorado—just a short drive from where a few other team members were raised. He and Kyle have been friends since high school, and their longtime connection eventually led Jeff to join Firestarter in 2017 as its third employee. With a background in a variety of professional roles, Jeff brought a well-rounded perspective to the team and quickly became a cornerstone of the company.

Show More


Officially, Jeff serves as Director of Results and SEO expert. Unofficially, he’s the go-to guy for all things operations. He has a deep understanding of what it takes for websites to climb the rankings and drive meaningful organic traffic. His insight, paired with his hands-on experience, makes him a trusted resource for both clients and teammates alike.

Jeff enjoys working at Firestarter because of its unmatched reputation across Colorado. “Every campaign has to be unique to the client,” he says. “You can’t apply the same formula to everyone and expect results.” The values that guide his work are honesty, transparency, and patience. “You just have to trust the process. SEO can be slow and frustrating at times, but it always comes together in the end.”

Outside of work, Jeff enjoys playing golf, spending time with his wonderful wife and kids, and  cheering on the Broncos (even when it hurts).

Amber Caffey

AMBER CAFFEY

Client Success Manager

Amber is one of our SEO Account Managers and plays a key role in setting up campaigns, tracking performance, and keeping everything on the right path through regular check-ins with our clients. She brings a rare mix of marketing expertise and empathy to the table, always looking for ways to help businesses grow while making the process feel easy and approachable.

Show More


Originally from Arizona, Amber found her way into digital marketing after working in client service and communications roles that taught her the value of listening, adapting, and showing up with a plan. As a proud mom of three girls, she’s no stranger to chaos—and that experience has made her incredibly organized, patient, and creative when it comes to problem-solving.

When asked what she enjoys most about working at Firestarter, Amber says it’s the people and the purpose. “We’re not just checking boxes—we’re invested in our clients’ success. Everyone here actually cares, and that makes a huge difference.” Her personal values of integrity, growth, and collaboration shine through in every interaction.

Outside of work, Amber is an avid reader, always cycling through a new stack of books, and loves a good DIY project when time allows. Most weekends, you’ll find her either at the local Pickleball court, on her paddleboard, or curled up with her girls and a good story.

Outside the office, Jamie is a creative soul. She enjoys experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, playing music, and painting—activities that reflect her imaginative and expressive personality. She also shares a strong bond with her dog, who’s often by her side on weekend excursions or curled up at her feet during quiet evenings at home.

Jamie’s unique mix of operational skill, adventurous spirit, and creative energy brings balance and heart to our team.
