Well.... It wasn't straight into advertising. I had a few stops along the way.
Hi, if you are reading this page either I asked you to read this page or you stumbled on it. Either way I am ecstatic that you give a hoot about who I am.
Originally a student of Royse City High School which is just a few miles east of Dallas, growing up I worked at Southern Junction in Rockwall and worked for my Grandmother at her Feed Store in Royse City. (I would post a link but she sold it long before the internet).
My mother at the time worked for GTE Yellow Pages.
She was a great friend to many Dallas area business owners.
While attending High School I worked for a company in Mesquite Tx called US Wireless Communications. One of those " Boiler Room" style telemarketing call centers. My job was to pitch folks on 800 Voicemail, Pagers, and Phones. Surprisingly I was pretty good at it. When the office started having computer troubles I began helping with the companies computer network utilizing my very limited amount of training from attending 2 years of the early stages of the Cisco Networking Academy. Never received a degree or CCNA certification. Networks and the backbone of computers never really interested me.
After High School I started with GTE, which soon became Verizon. For the 1st year I worked with small local accounts throughout the United States. Then after 364 days I transfered to the local yellow pages sales office. Since then I have gone to school at Northwood University and studied Search Engine advertising and marketing. Took me a few years to learn things but I think I have it down now! The great thing about internet advertising is that it doesn't cost more than the price of time to learn it. After 10 years in the industry, I still get a kick out of making clients money. My passion is two fold- Search Engine Advertising and Helping Local Dallas - Fort Worth Business Owners reach goals.
