About Your Search Advisor
I started Your Search Advisor to help others take advantage of all the opportunities that exist online to build their businesses. As the number and type of search engines increase, so does the level of complexity involved with harnessing their ability to reach your target audience online. As a Search Engine Optimization Consultant, I understand how to leverage these opportunities and make them work for you.
I am the founder of Your Search Advisor, LLC. I was born in Philadelphia and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I was very fortunate to have wonderful parents that recognized and encouraged hard work and dedication. For this I am thankful. After high school I packed up and moved away from family and friends to the beautiful Richmond, VA to attend The University of Richmond. I graduated with dual degrees in Computer Science and Spanish and have been fortunate enough to put both to use in real-world applications. I met the woman that would become my wife at U of R and have been blessed with her presence every day since. In fact, she's the reason I'm here today. We moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan (Go Blue!) in the summer of 2007 so she can complete a Pediatric Dental residency at the University of Michigan.
