- About Me:
- I majored in Music Theory at the University of Arizona, but my professional career has been all about computer technology and online marketing.
I've been passionate about classical music since I was a small boy. I've sung in professional choruses and written some choral and instrumental compositions. The mix of music and computers sounds strange, but there used to be an urban legend that IBM hired more music majors than math majors. The mental skills are similar, I think.
A Tucsonan since 1970, I love desert hiking and gardening.
- About my Business:
- I help my clients to stop hiding from their customers (ask me what that means) and I save money and make money for my clients. I design, build, and market websites that attract new customers and retain existing customers. This means web design, SEO (search engine optimization), SEM (search engine marketing), CRM (customer relationship management) and more. I advise clients on the most cost-effective and profit-making use of computers, software, and the internet. I provide executive-level relationship management with existing and new technology vendors.
- My Ideal Customer is:
- A Tucson business with a website that fails to attract or retain customers. Or a Tucson business without a website. Or a Tucson business without an IT executive that wants to maximize the effectiveness of their investment in computer technology and to have expert executive management of their technology vendor relationships.
- My Ideal Referral Partner is:
- A website designer who prefers not to offer marketing-related services to their clients. Or any B2B service provider whose clients lack expert executive oversight of their technology usage and their technology vendor relationships.

This encompasses the areas of social networking, social marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), customer relationship management (CRM) and much more.
