Before serving at Bethel, I was employed with Element Fusion Internet Development (out of OKC). I enjoyed the design and SEO side of things and became hooked on learning as much as I could about the process. Even better, I thought I'd marry what I learn with an industry that gets very little SEO attention - local churches.

My experiment has begun with Bethel and after only two months after launching the new design (http://www.bethelipc.org), I'm climbing the rankings quickly. My goals are high and lofty, but achievable.

Yes, I do freelance on the side (http://colinrowley.com), but haven't for quite a while as my first priority has been building Bethel's image and identity within the Houston community.

I look forward to learning from people here on SEOMoz. This site has become a staple among my diet of SEO sites. Thank you, SEOMoz!
