Jeff Hoard’s Summary
Graduated from Fanshawe in London, Ontario in 2003. After graduation I Worked 5 years in technical service industry working with companies like T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard. Those five years were split up by a year in Banff Alberta where I worked at the Sunshine Village ski resort as a Groups Coordinator. (Basically I cranked skiis all day)
I began blogging in 2005 and it eventually led me to working full time online. I signed Internet labour contracts with companies like Netscape and Mahalo and blogging contracts with AOL News and TrueSlant.com
I wish to continue working full time online to the point where I can make a career in either labour or blogging.
I've been with Mahalo since July 2007 and full time since February 2008, I am pretty confident that in time it will be one of the greatest search engines on the web.
