About Me:
In the late 1990's, I was a consultant at STEP Technology in Portland, Oregon, and worked on teams creating everything from Windows applications to e-commerce websites, with a number of very large projects in the online banking and real estate industries. In my last year at STEP Technology, I created a small team of highly specialized experts (including Scott Hanselman, Bruce Wilson, and Rob Vieira) that consulted to all of the company's projects. In 2001, I co-founded TheBigDay.com, a honeymoon registry and travel company. Here is where I "went to school" on SEO, learning how to get our webpages ranked in Google for key honeymoon travel phrases ahead of the giants in the travel industry. As well, it gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about business and entrepreneurship. As well as my independent consulting, I am an Associate at SEOmoz, answering questions from PRO members in their Q&A forum, and contributing articles to the SEOmoz main blog fairly regularly. I'm on the board of SEMpdx as well.
