Houston, Texas Area
Since discovering the internet at the age of 16 in 1994, I've had a hard time tearing myself away. I have spent the last 8 years or so, self-teaching myself web design & development and learning and dabbling with various languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP & ASP.NET, Java Script and a little Cold Fusion as well as learning the ropes in programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, and various others.
Approximately 3 years ago, I started learning the basics of SEO, PPC, Affiliate marketing and other internet marketing strategies. I've spread myself a little too thin (mainly because I enjoy learning new things) and decided to concentrate on one area, namely SEO in 2006 because of an intense passion for the industry and it's been a love affair ever since. I spend a majority of my time working with clients, but home to make some time soon to actually use my talent on my personal projects. If only there were more hours in the day.
I really enjoy educating others about SEO. There are so many misconceptions and bad advice in this industry and I enjoy teaching, guiding or advising others down the correct path for themselves or their business.
I am also a huge problem solver and enjoy analyzing data to work out issues and use that data to develop and grow upon areas of opportunity on the web.
My first professional background is actually in retail management which actually first exposed me to my love of teaching and leading others as well as learning how to analyze a business based off of many different factors.
I really enjoy consulting work with small to medium business owners and or management in regards to developing and managing their online marketing efforts.
