About
Not a series of almosts — a career of being early.
Internet video before YouTube. POV cameras before GoPro. Ad dashboards with metrics before the market asked for them. A streaming platform with a six-figure exit. Five produced Hollywood credits. The pattern is the point: being early. AI is the first wave where early pays in months, not decades.
35 years of getting the phone to ring
Optimization Guy has spent 35 years helping businesses get found and get chosen — through every shift from directories to Google to, now, AI answers. Small on purpose: hands-on, fast-moving, and personally accountable for the result.
Rewrite in progress (Fable). This page replaces the old About content. Per spec §6,
all dated-platform references (Vine, Google+, Digg, Foursquare, Alexa) are retired and never
migrated; the "35 years" story is paired with proof assets as they come online. Raw source in
