SUMMARY

I’m a Web guy who has worked in engineering, sales, and marketing to design, build, and market websites for large and small companies. I have worked as a front-end developer, specializing in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, php and WordPress development. I currently work in marketing, managing the strategy and development of superpages.com, in addition to our corporate marketing websites and our customer portal available to over 400,000 clients. My group is responsible for increasing revenue on B2C properties, while increasing lead generation on B2B sites. As the resident WordPress evangelist within our company, I have convinced executives and managers in marketing and IT to migrate our corporate marketing websites to WordPress and have been a proponent of a partnership with Automattic for client websites.
