Career Biography
I’ve been working in content development and SEO for about 26 years.
Most recently, I worked on websites and content development programs for dozens of professional clients (primarily physicians, dentists, and attorneys), dozens more corporate startups, and a few marquis companies like Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, Clean Energy Fuels ($CLNE), Ernst & Young (Irvine, CA), SonicWall and the World Trade Centers Association.
The path that led me into digital marketing was when I taught myself HTML coding and launched my first website in 1997. Around that time, I was working with the first online college application service, CollegeNet, and volunteered for the NetDay96 initiative. As part of that program, I created an HTML template to help hundreds of high schools, colleges, universities and nonprofits launch their first websites. About that time, I started working for the Judicial Council of California (California Courts) on their new online Self-Help section and their first SEO project.
In 1993, I wrote and researched “The Art of Jack Kirby,” the first comprehensive large-format biography and bibliography for Jack Kirby, the celebrated comic book artist who created or co-created indelible characters like Captain America, The Hulk, and The Fantastic Four. Around that time, I also wrote a few stories for the Star Trek television franchise.
Before that, I held editorial positions at several local print lifestyle magazines, and a bit before that, I ran a well-known local agency that specialized in producing and publishing company newsletters, annual reports and other large-format business literature. My early career included working as a freelance journalist for several local newspapers and magazines, a freelance copywriter and researcher for several public relations firms, and as a technical illustrator and writer for the aerospace industry in Southern California.
My life is marketing communications. I’m currently conducting private research on the safe and responsible use of AI-generated text content. My prior SEO research led to a simple method for creating long-tail content funnels for websites in highly competitive vertical markets. I’ve begun writing about these experiments and other experiences on LinkedIn, YouTube, and my blog.
I am also transitioning into other forms of writing (a novel and podcast program). Still, I remain an ongoing and current professional communicator with skills and training compliant with today’s vibrant digital marketing ecology.
