About Me
I am an internet marketing specialist, search engine optimization strategist, and internet entrepreneur/hobbyist, but to put it more simply I am a fierce opponent in the sport of competitive webmastering.
Since the day I taught myself html and started hand coding sites as a hobby in 1996, through my discovery of search engine marketing in 2004, I have always had a passion for writing, developing, and marketing niche web properties with focused monetization strategies. I consult companies on how to build & sustain long term web initiatives focused on creating quality, well positioned content and websites that both provide value for users while staying in line with their business goals.
Presently I serve as SEO Specialist at Agency.com where I work with companies such as Nike, Hewlett Packard, Energizer, Fisher Price, and Aon to develop and implement best practice organic search engine optimization strategies. Previously I served as Product Manager and resident SEO expert at Hostway, a leading Web Hosting and Domain Name Registrar who provides web hosting services from everyone from Coca-Cola to Wikipedia in addition to hundreds of thousands of SMB clients.
My specialties include:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Content Development
- Link Popularity Development
- Web Analytics Reporting, KPI & ROI Analysis
- Website and Server Forensics
- Social Media Marketing
- Domain Name and Web Hosting Consulting
- Keyword Research & Target Determination
- Pay Per Click Marketing
- CMS consulting and configuration to meet SEO best practices
- Server Side Redirect Consulting and Implementation
I was born and raised and presently reside in Chicagoland area with my wife Jen. In my spare time I am an avid ice hockey player, downhill skier and music & movie enthusiast as well as an internet fanatic.
