I’m from an English major and teaching and writing background. I’ve taught elementary school as a teacher and as a writer my stories have been published in many literary magazines and broadcast on CBC. My career switch happened when I couldn’t get a teaching job in Calgary so I went back to SAIT to become an internet and network specialist. Then I was recruited to be a computer specialist by Clark County School District where I worked for five years.
We moved back to Canada and I started my own business called Ducktoes Computer Services (pun on web feet – Make a Splash on the web with Ducktoes). I started working out of the house, then got a small office, a larger office, then moved to a retail store on a busy street near downtown Calgary with 9 staff members. We do seo, web design, computer repair, laptop repair, IT support, remote support, data recovery, and virus removal.
Lately I’ve attended and become certified by Bruce Clay, SEO guru, for Advanced SEO. I also have attended two years in a row Pubcon Master’s Class in SEO and the entire conference. I’ve also attended Local Search U.
We have 30 SEO clients who are all ranking on the first page of Google except for new clients. We use only White Hat SEO practices and most of our clients have WordPress sites.
