I met the crew at Go Fish Digital at an SEO Meetup in Northern Virginia, and became their Director of Search Marketing on September 1, 2013.
In the mid-90s, some friends taught me how to build a windows computer, and I started using it to build web pages, after devouring a "Learn HTML in 2 Weeks" book. I was working for the Courts of Delaware at the time, and had earned a law degree.
I helped some friends start up a successful business online, and instead of pursuing a partnership at a law firm, started spending a fair amount of time online, learning about web design, web promotion, usability, marketing, startups and the internet.
I've worked with a lot of folks since 1996, both professionally and through my involvement as an administrator of an online forums and community sites, to help make web sites easier to be found online, and friendlier to visitors.
I started SEO by the Sea, in January 2006, and focus primarily on writing about Search Engine Optimization on the site. I enjoy learning about how search engines work by looking at Patents and whitepapers and blog posts from search engineers, and blogging about them, and having conversations about them in comments for those posts
