For over 18 years, I've helped companies market themselves through the power of the Internet. Not simply an "ideas guy;" I can make recommendations on what needs to be done, and then execute them myself. I have experience designing and developing websites, which has allowed me to have total control over a company's web presence rather than having to farm out the more technical aspects of Internet marketing. I frequently use PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and other open-source technologies to accomplish what I need.People familiar with running companies know that marketing and business development go hand-in-hand, and I've spent a majority of my years in marketing also focusing on business development. By measuring results and implementing and refining business processes, I've found ways for my employers and clients to run their companies "better, faster, stronger, and cheaper."I'm laser-focused on providing results, which means I know how to discover what a company's key performance indicators are, then collect and analyze data for those KPIs, then break it all down into a format that is easy to understand. Since marketing is all about spreading your message for the end-goal of building profits and getting more business, it's easy for me to show a company the ROI for their marketing efforts.My biggest assets are: I'm a good writer, I speak in plain English, I can work on a team with anybody, I'm extremely patient, and I'm not afraid to tell people if something isn't working. I listen very carefully to what people are saying, to figure out what they actually want and over the years, I've learned that those two aren't always the same thing.Having started and run my own business, I'm also passionate about entrepreneurship and believe that starting a business is the most powerful education you can get—even more than a college degree. (Although I have one of those too).My professional motto: "data wins arguments."
