About Me
How I Got My Start in SEO
It all started with a love for skiing and a hesitation to jump into the traditional corporate world. After college, I chose to pursue my passion for the mountains, working as a bootfitter in a ski shop before moving into sales within the ski industry. But fate had different plans.
​
Between boot fittings, I found myself helping the eCommerce manager—adding products to the website, fulfilling orders, and tinkering with product descriptions. That’s when I discovered an unexpected passion for writing product copy, tracking rankings, and understanding search behavior. At the time, I didn’t consider myself a “digital person,” but the complexity of keyword intent, user metrics, and on-site optimization pulled me in.
​
A few years (plus a first house, a marriage, and a baby) later, I took the leap into corporate SEO. My first full-time SEO role was at an agency specializing in digital marketing for car dealerships. The fast-paced, high-pressure environment forced me to learn quickly, sharpening my skills in technical SEO, content strategy, and local search.
​
From there, I gained experience at two other agencies—one focused on local SEO for contractors, the other on eCommerce and lead generation SEO. These roles exposed me to a variety of website platforms and CMS and helped me build a versatile approach to organic search strategy.
What My Experience Has Taught Me
In agencies, rapid growth is often prioritized over client success. Whether intentionally or not, bandwidth to properly support existing clients becomes scarce.
​
By 2015, I realized I could do things differently. I launched my freelance SEO consulting business with a clear mission:
✅ Honesty, transparency, and accountability
✅ SEO built on actual hours spent, not vague deliverables
✅ Collaboration-first approach for stronger results
​
Many agencies and consultants bundle SEO into vague packages to mask the actual time spent on an account. At a previous agency, I saw firsthand how SEO was treated as a profit driver, where the goal was to maximize margins by doing the least amount of work necessary. That approach never sat right with me.
​
That’s why my SEO services are structured around clear hourly commitments. When you work with me, you’ll know exactly what’s being done, how long it takes, and the results we’re working toward—no surprises, no fluff.
What I Bring to the Table
With 15+ years of experience in digital marketing and SEO, I’ve worked on nearly a thousand accounts across industries. That experience has helped me refine best-in-class strategies that actually move the needle.
​
But my biggest strength?
I make SEO easy to understand.
​
I know how SEO interacts with other marketing channels, and I believe collaboration is the key to success. My most successful campaigns have come from strong client relationships, frequent communication, and a shared commitment to execution.
​
Beyond SEO, I understand what it takes to grow a business. From helping scale an agency from $350K to a multimillion-dollar operation to turning my own freelance SEO business into a full-time career, I know how to navigate the growing pains of a business looking to capture market share. If you’re in growth mode and looking to outpace the competition, now is the perfect time to connect.
