I started my web site marketing company, StepForth Web Marketing Inc. in 1997 with no intention of it becoming the overwhelming love affair with work that it has become. Yes, I am saying I am one of those incredibly lucky people that loves (on most days) going to work and a lot of that is because I surround myself with people I love to be around and work with. Over the years my career has never failed to be exciting as the search engine optimization (SEO) industry zigged, zagged, yawed and rolled along with the turbulent growth of the Internet. I have had a few highlights, however, including consulting Time Inc. Interactive in New York City, winning 2nd place as the Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of the Year in my home city of Victoria, BC, Canada, and discovering the joy of cohosting a weekly online radio show on SEO.

Fortunately I am not consumed by my work so I have had the good fortune to have followed many of life's passions from repeated sky diving adventures to buying my first Porsche (of many I hope!), exploring my beautiful province and hiking some of the most beautiful territories on earth in British Columbia. That said, I discovered my greatest passion in 2005 when I met the woman of my dreams and over the course of the next 7 years created two gorgeous, spirited children who we dote on and look forward to exploring the world with.

All-in-all, I am well aware of how lucky I am and try to live a conscious life based on Eckhart Tolle's teachings so every day becomes a tribute to the present and whatever it may bring.
