What I do
Most of the work I do is based around helping people build an awesome website for their business. This means having a site that looks professional, and is the center of the company's marketing.
Every website needs to get traffic, and turn that traffic into leads or money. So I spend a lot of my time creating content and blogging for websites to make this happen. On a given day I could be designing, writing, researching, or talking to clients and learning more about their company.
In my spare time I like to get away from the computer and spend time outdoors — Mountain biking, golf, and taking photos. When I'm at home you can often find me messing with my saltwater reef tanks.
Originally from Calgary, AB — I have lived in Las Vegas, Nevada since 2012.

Copywriting and SEO
Writing and blogging for company websites is a large part of what I do. I focus on creating easy to read copy that sounds personal and gets away from jargon and corporate-speak. This involves both writing and research to find out what needs written and what SEO keywords to use.
