You know, I have a varied past. Well, a really varied past. Usually, when you think of someone that started a web marketing agency, you think of either a coder or a graphics guy. Well, I am neither. At 16, I ran an offset printing press for my father. At 21, after a mission for my church in Albania, I bought and sold printing and graphics services. I taught myself how to use my $400 Macintosh to produce graphics that I could sell. IKON Office Solutions actually hired me to use my self-taught graphics skills to run a graphics department for them in Salt Lake City in 1998… the same year I married my beautiful bride, Jennifer. Together, Jen and I have five wonderful children… yeah… full house. I have always had a passion for business, technology and education. So, after working in the office equipment industry for over 8 years, teaching graphic design for web at The University of Utah, serving as a Color Systems Specialist for Canon USA, working hard to learn what I could, and going back to school for my undergraduate in Information Technology and a Master in Business administration, both from University of Phoenix, I started Tribute Media in 2007. During the years since starting Tribute Media, I’ve worked hard to develop talents that can be shared with others. I figure that a talent that can’t be shared isn’t a talent worth having. Because of this, I decided to write my first book, "Do It Right: A CEO's Guide to Web Marketing." I believe that this book is one example of how I can share what I’ve learned. I followed that with my ebook, "Do It Right: A CEO's Guide to Twitter." The best business decision I ever made was stepping aside as President of Tribute Media in 2020 and asking one of my partners, Lindsey Bowshier, take the lead of the day-to-day operations of Tribute Media. Now, I have moved from my role completely at Tribute Media but still actively focused on Digital Marketing and Web Strategy at my new agency, Intuitive Websites.
