I work both independently and with local web design companies in Grand Rapids, helping to improve website visibility online. One of the many reasons search engine optimization intrigues me is the general nature of ranking – whether it be education, personal relationships, video games, or websites; I believe in constantly improving everything we do.

My formal education includes a Bachelor’s in Economics from Michigan State University, and professionally my education has been garnered 80% through personal experience and 20% through countless hours of daily reading. SEO is a very dynamic field to work in, which requires me to stay on top of things. A few blogs I personally read and highly recommend include SEOMoz as well as Search Engine Watch.

When I am not working on getting results for client or personal digital properties, I enjoy staying in shape through resistance training and kayaking in West Michigan.
