After many years in the IT/Tech industry, I fell into SEO in 2006. I am now a self-employed SEO/SMM (Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Marketing) and owner of SEM Simple.com based in the New York City area. As an SEO, I regularly write copy that will attract high search engine rankings and increase on page visit time. Sound like fun? Well, for me it is. Writing is just one of many creative outlets afforded to me by the SEO/SMM industry. I have an opinion on everything and will write about pretty much anything. I am Google Adwords certified and ALZA certified for PPC and SEO. When I'm not with a client, an ironic tee with jeans is my uniform and sarcasm is my drug of choice.
Besides my obviously nerdy pursuits and 'unnecessary cute toys from Tokyo' obsession, I love fashion, design, classic and indie movies, music, and laughing. I love to laugh (thanks for the memories Adult Swim). In my down time, my nose is in the Daily News, Village Voice, New York Magazine, Website Magazine, Wired Magazine, PC Magazine, L Magazine, Harpers Bazaar (I'll spare you the rest) and my book of the moment. My online reading is way to lengthy so let's just say, I'm an avid reader. When I'm not hunched over my laptop like a mindless drone, I strut around Manhattan ( and sometimes Brooklyn) like I own the place. Really- with my mental soundtrack on full blast and Zoolander Blue Steel face on.
My work can be viewed online for retailers such as 1800Flowers.com, Details For Men, L'Oreal Technique, and David's Cookies; blogs such as ECommerce Partners, PSP Homepage,Gift Guide Online, and Thea's Blog; and social networking sites like Going, MetroFunk, MySpace, Technorati and Squidoo. I have other client sites and satellite project sites that I regularly work on, design and write for.
