I am a US military vet with a contract management degree, a business management degree and 10 years of government proposal and marketing experience.
I began learning about SEO when I tried to get traffic to my company's website, a project I was assigned as a corporate marketing manager. My first attempt was a PPC campaign, through which I found out how keywords can make you or break you, and I had only nearly begun to realize the complexities of SEO.
Now, eternities later with several website successes under my belt, I feel I have knowledge worth passing on.
