This is my personal blog where I blog about things going on in my life. It can be about my family, my work, things I like and things that make me mad. If you are looking for some inspiration you may be disappointed. I also run a couple of other blogs where I discuss online marketing and automotive search engine optimization. This is how I earn my living and take care of my family. My business has been completely built using inbound marketing and networking and now I have a staff of eight and needing to grow daily. If you are looking for help with localized online marketing you can contact me at www.segasystems.com or give me a call at 912-266-1629
I returned from Las Vegas after 5 days of work and travel. It is hard for me to believe that Las Vegas and work are even in the same sentence for me. It was four days of meetings with other activities interspersed. The reason for the trip was to participate in the Drivingsales Executive Summit [...]
As I am finishing the last few things needed for my trip to Las Vegas, for business, other things keep popping up that do not relate to the trip. Questions from employees, family issues and of course the request for me to grab certain things while there. Due to the way my business works and [...]

I may have been overly vocal about certain things in the past. One thing that kind of set me back was when an automotive SEO consultant accused me of “defaming” him when I pointed out in an automotive seo post that some of the things he was claiming were false and misleading and I still [...]
My business has grown beyond the point of being able to manage it from my home office. So I have rented my new space. I have eight employees with 6 being local so it was an overdue need. I will slowly start the transition over the next few days and be fully [...]
A good friend of mine pointed out to me that I am in the top 1000 twitterers based on my number of followers at Twitterholic.com (#934 as of the date of this post). My twitter ranking may go up but more than likely it will go down. Why? Because twitter is a way to engage [...]
I just got back from a week of travel. Met up with some people who until now I have only met virtually. I met with clients in North Carolina. Friends and future business partners in DC and a great online friend and biz partner in NJ. The entire trip revolved around automotive SEO and how [...]
2008 was a crazy year for me personally and I am really glad it is over. It was a very fast year and I experienced many trials and triumphs. The best thing about experiencing these things is it allows me to reflect back and look for ways to improve personally and professionally.
