Brad Goettemoeller’s Summary
I have a wide range of professional experience which includes sales and marketing, technology, and managing employees. I have worked in various capacities in both the high tech world and the outdoor industry. I can float freely between both the machines and the people. However, if I had to, I would always choose to work with people.
Persistence is my trademark. Throughout my career, I've shown that there is always a way to make something happen. I've also learned that the hard way isn't always the best way. If it's too difficult, there is probably a smarter way to make it happen.

Brad Goettemoeller’s Experience
-
Quicksilver Interactive Media, Inc.
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)
November 2002 — Present (6 years 3 months)
Brad is the founder and President of Quicksilver Interactive. I have taken this company from the initial start-up phase to a profitable and successful company with hundreds of happy customers from across the country.
I manage a small team of professionals, both internal employees and external contractors, who perform the necessary tasks to keep our customers happy. I am very involved with day to day operations and I take quality service very seriously.
Quicksilver Interactive develops and hosts websites, and performs search engine optimization for small business clients primarily in tourism markets. We also maintain a suite of tourism based content sites where we sell advertising and products. We have a strong focus on building attractive and high traffic websites that are easy to navigate.
Our motto: "Anyone can make a website. However, organized sites with a good mix of graphics and text content that generate revenue are difficult to create." -
Adventure Sports Technology
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)
September 1999 — March 2002 (2 years 7 months)
Adventure Sports Technology was created during the frenzy of the dotcom buzz. The company's original concept was to create a website called AllAboutRivers.com which was an online river guide for private boaters (river runners with their own gear) and commercial rafting clients. The primary revenue model was from advertising.
The site was created and a good amount of advertising revenue was generated. However, just as things were getting rolling, the dotcom frenzy died down and the rug got pulled out from under us.
I continued on as the sole employee doing various freelance work like managing marketing events, creating graphics, etc... Eventually and dissolved the company in early 2002.
I re-organized later in the year as Quicksilver Interactive with our primary service being website development. That experience has enabled me to build my current business which has been successful. -
Hewlett-Packard
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; HPQ; Computer Software industry)

Managed internal websites and portions of external websites as well as marketing events such as trade shows and software user conferences. Also managed a team of telemarketing people who were responsible for the initial qualification of leads from marketing campaigns and assigning those leads to the appropriate sales contacts.
