Honolulu was our port of entry.

In recent years I've returned to Honolulu and lived downtown in Waikaki and Ala Moana, as well as on the Big Island. That's me holding my newly "adopted" grandfather's hand in the pic. He was fond of lining us up to meet his friends to point out that my older brother and I weren't "Real" Eatons ...but my youngest brother was.

 

Settled into Upstate NY

My grade school days were spent in the glacier carved rolling hills and corn fields of Victor, Farmington and Canandaigua New York in the 5 Finger Lakes region south of Rochester.

 

Moved to Tennesseee

When I was 16, my dad relocated us to Knoxville Tennessee for his new Job at Knox Porcelain. There I finished out high school at Karns HS and later 1 yr college at ETSU and the rest at University of Tennessee.

1st Business: Portrait Artist

There wasn't much of an internet when I started my first business as a portrait artist in the early '90s.

Marketing Out of Necessity
Fine art led to graphic arts in an effort to market my own home based business which I eventually abandoned to became a full time marketing professional.

1st Corporate Marketing Job: B'ham Budwieser

My art skills landed a job as a sign painter for Birmingham Budweiser. Later I was promoted to my first corporate marketing position as their POS/Sign Shop & Events Marketing Manager.

After almost 4 years there I went through a flurry of marketing industry jobs:

  • Sign Shop Production Artist
  • Traditional Print Marketing Artist
  • Screen Printing Art Director
  • Creative Director
  • Art Director
  • Marketing Director

After The Birth of Google

Shortly after Google was born, I found myself learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) while freelancing as a self taught web designer at an "Internet" Ad Agency.

I didn't know it then but I would be a freelance contractor for the rest of my life.

+20 Years Self-Employed Life

For the last +20 years, I have been a Freelance SEO Specialist with a brief interruption as a w-2 for Winn-Dixie Grocery Store as their webmaster and marketing specialist.

SEO Marketing for All Kinds of Industries

I've marketed for Luxury Real Estate Brokers, some more Ad Agencies as a white label SEO and a number of other businesses, some that I still work with.

That's My Real Life SEO Marketing Career in a nutshell.
