I'm an Internet marketer with a focus on lead generation strategies for the small business. I'm experienced in the agency and Internet retail environments, B2B and B2C industries.

I own several growingly successful Websites that I use to test various marketing strategies. My tactical skillsets include Web design & development, search engine, affiliate and email marketing. My current employment is as an Affiliate Account Executive at MGECOM.com. You can read about my work experience here.

Besides Internet marketing, I also have a passion for canoeing and kayaking, so when I'm not working on Internet projects I'm usually paddling somewhere in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York or Maryland.
