About Me
About Me

Welcome! I had thought of a hundred ways to begin this: a pun, a poetic gesture, a curious statement of transcendental philosophy… Each had merit but time (and character space) are precious commodities so it’s best I be frank. I love the concept of anything Digital. I am passionate about my career because it aligns so well with my core interests.

I also take passion in my hobbies and interests, such as flying R/C Drones and doing card magic. I like philosophizing, people watching, stargazing, wordsmithing, technology, and human potential. I get sustenance from helping others, the occasional boogying down, and geeking out. I also am a father to an amazing little girl who is the center of my world. I appreciate your visit to my website and hope it provides you with everything you need.

Enjoy!

He guided me through the inner workings of SEO in a clear, concise manner, and gave easy effective steps to take to improve the hits on my site and improve my visibility. He's professional, personable, and innovative in his approach.

Jourdan was an excellent manager at Wewomen Inc. He was able to successfully oversee the startup of a new website with growing content while also managing a team of editors and writers, myself included. Jourdan's web skills were indispensable when it came to boosting the site's visibility, which was evident in our weekly reports. He not only supervised my group of editors, but also gave us daily pointers on SEO writing, ensuring that we could maintain the success of the site while also building our own blogs and freelance writing.<br /> <br /> Beyond that, Jourdan was simply a pleasure to work with. He took everyone's opinions and ideas into consideration and ensured that communication was always open. Any company would be lucky to have Jourdan working with their team.
