Welcome! OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I’m outspoken, snarky & often profane. I say what’s on my mind – like it or not. People seem to think I’m funny. Who am I to argue with the divine wisdom of strangers and a few thousand Twitter followers?
If you offend easily or tend to believe that women should sit down, shut up and “act like ladies”…well, you’re about to be handed an unwelcome dose of reality. As Kathy Griffin would say, “Suck it!” Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
My Professional Life
These days I earn my living building search engine and user friendly small business websites & blogs using the WordPress platform. If it’s good enough for CNN, Mashable, The New York Times, Stephen Colbert, MIT, Reuters and many others, it’s good enough for me – and, more importantly, my clients! I also help small business owners with their Internet marketing efforts – like SEO (search engine optimization), ORM (online reputation management), SMM (social media marketing) and online branding. If you’re a small business owner in need of some help, please check out my search marketing alter ego at SEOAly.
Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to develop a wide variety of skills working for the largest companies in their respective industries – Prestige Portraits (the Senior Portrait division of Lifetouch), ServiceMaster and Web.com (formerly Website Pros). From my experience as an award-winning portrait photographer to a manager in a $6+ million lawn care branch, each position provided unique insight into how big businesses operate. I am now able to use that knowledge to help small businesses operate more efficiently and be more successful.
