Google Adwords Qualified IndividualIn November of 2007 I became a Google Adwords Qualified Professional. This means that I passed all of Google's requirements to be recognized by Google as qualified to sell their advertising services. What this means to you is that I have a broad base of knowledge in setting up Google Advertising campaigns. Google Adwords Advertising is one of the best ways to generate instant traffic to your website for ANY set budget. Next time you do a Google search, notice the "Sponsored Links" on the top of the search results and on the right hand side of the page. Notice that the ads are related to the search terms that you typed in. Google advertising is highly targetted because you can target your ads to specific keyword searches and user locations. This means that the visitors that click your ads on Google will be more qualified than general advertising. To learn more about my Internet advertising services, click here to keep reading.

Background and Experience

I started my web design career when I was 16 years old. The Internet at that time was very young and so was I. My first site was an informational site about koi ponds. My friends were impressed with my koi website and began to show their friends what I had done. Soon enough I had my first web design job.

It has been 11 years since my first web design job and since then I have expanded from simple web site design to a broad range of Internet marketing skills and ideas. Since then I have designed a wide variety of websites and have consulted on marketing for others. Each new client I take on teaches me something new about the web, and I try to pass those new nuggets of knowledge onto all of my old and new clients.

I met Chris a few years back and decided that I wanted to focus more on Internet marketing and he wanted to focus more on web design and coding, so we formed a strategic partnership and the rest is history.

As I worked my way towards owning my own business I was fortunate enough to work for Bamboo Headquarters, a large bamboo nursery in California, that taught me most of what I know about business. Everything else I learned about business has come from my mentors and business school. I graduated from Cal State San Marcos in 2005 with a degree in Business Administration with a focus in High Technology Management.

Much of my passion for starting my own company has come from my mentors. These include: my first boss who is now my best client, a co-worker who has led a eclectic life from being a cars salesman to owning a plant nursery in Hawaii, my partner Chris who helped me start this company, and many other friends, entrepreneurs and clients who have fueled my passion to do my own thing.
