A versatile expert specializing in digital marketing ranging from WordPress web design to product testing, market research, email campaigns, social media and more. Will leverage past experience from industry leading corporations (Microsoft, Micrografx, CureMatch, Foresight Sports, and a Paul Allen startup called Starwave; to help your business reach its goals.

“Finally, someone with  a positive attitude and a refreshing unique blend of skills for today’s businesses needing a solutions-oriented technical expert that gets it.”

Todd helped promote, build and maintain infrastructure at Starwave for some of the largest and most popular web sites on the Internet, including ESPN.com, NFL.com, NBA.com, NASCAR.com, ABCNEWS.com and others. Todd also played a vital role on teams successfully testing and launching innovative multimedia apps for celebrities, Sting, Clint Eastwood, The Muppets, and Peter Gabriel.

Why the name Blue Marine Tech?

As a liaison in Microsoft’s Systems Group on the Redmond, WA campus Todd saw thousands of Windows NT blue screens while reproducing bugs and performing countless installs. Getting a bug to occur in front of a developer meant that bug would soon be fixed. So the color blue was actually a good thing…well sort of.

Trivia fact; Todd oversaw the resolution of over 3,000 bugs during the first few releases of Microsoft Windows NT.

In early 2003 Todd and his wife took a sabbatical aboard a catamaran, named Blue Marine. Blue Marine quickly became synonymous with the go to guru that could help fix PCs and various gadgets by mariners and local businesses from the Bahamas to Panama.

Upon settling back on land it was a natural progression to shift focus to web design and online DIGITAL MARKETING. Early in Todd’s career his passion for graphics and being at the forefront of technology started at Micrografx where he was responsible for technical training, testing, demos and as trade show tech lead. Each requiring extensive Windows knowledge and troubleshooting skills, that he continues to build upon.

Why do I need a Website?
Your website acts as the focal point of all your marketing efforts. It contains information about YOUR products and services. Sure, if you have the time and money, you can get your phone to ring through traditional print, tv, radio, and face to face methods -or- you can use less expensive methods and leverage a website, social media, email campaigns and online ads that will work for you 24/7. This will help you establish your brand, build trust and gain opportunities to start a dialog to grow your business.

I have a wide range of experience with diverse clients. My web design portfolio shows examples of custom websites I’ve created from concept to reality. Contact me today and let’s start growing your business.

Do I need to use Social Media?
Social media is the hottest marketing trend today! It allows you to communicate with clients and give you even more contact with your potential customers. The philosophy behind it is that people who like, know and trust your business want to tell others about you and your business. It is this buildup of networking contacts that creates a force that can grow your business. I can get you started using various social media tools, help you evaluate your progress and mentor you. Or I can do it all for you. You decide.
