It happened by accident. I was sitting in a coffee shop in Seattle’s Green Lake neighborhood when I drew artwork for a skateboard deck. For fun. Never expecting my life to change. Several years later. Nine hundred skateboard deck designs later. I own the planet’s largest skateboard deck website. Along the way, I learned Shopify and I can help you. Yeah, I write copy but, like every entrepreneur, life took a turn and I grabbed the bull by the balls.
Certification is a real thing. Tests taken and passed on platform technology, marketing, finance and SEO just scratch the surface. I went in a newbie, I walked out a guy who can speed up your process and profitability. Combined with certifications from Hubspot and SEMrush, my framed sheepskin makes me a little dangerous. A little Python programming on the side, from the University of Michigan, allows me to read back-end code and make simple changes.
Cool?
You read that right — 3000 hours of videos, tutorials, forums, website reviews and classroom lessons. And I’m affordable. How affordable? Pick up the phone.
Put another way, I’ve walked in your shoes, starting with a dream and a Shopify free trial. I understand:
The excitement of possibility
The fear of failure,
The dream of riches
The intimidation of competition
The daunting scale of mundane tasks
The confusing details of shipping
The value of creating templates
The worthless recommendations of competing influencers
The <panic> of putting a comma out of place in HTML
The meticulous editing of technical SEO
The creative challenge of content marketing
The integration of artificial intelligence
The crafting of a brand voice
The sharpening of a product line
The cost accounting
The bookkeeping
The tax planning
Ten thousand other details.
You’ll get there. I can help.
