About

I am the Director of Search, and Founder of WebFuel, a Search Results Agency based in Ottawa, Canada. I was an early adopter of the web (even before Google came on the scene), and have over 20 years experience in this field. My areas of expertise are SEO & PPC for large enterprises and Canadian brands. I have often been called upon to provide “expert opinions” in the field of Search Marketing and have also presented on this topic. I currently sit on the Algonquin College Advertising & Marketing Communication Advisory Board and was also hired as a consultant for the new Search Marketing Program for Algonquin College. I was also first Ontario chair for SEMPO and the driver behind the Ottawa Digital Marketing Meetup.

Specialties: Search marketing for large enterprises and Canadian brands.

Certifications: Google AdWords and Google Analytics.

Clients: Nokia, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Ottawa Tourism, Alcatel-Lucent
