Here is one of the two bio’s posted about Patrick Bennett:

I have been addicted to Web design and development for the last 9 years. My affair with this industry is continually renewed due to the continual spark of new ideas, and the excitement of creating successful solutions. Over the years I have learned how important developers are in the continual success of SEO marketing. This insight has driven me to master techniques and standards in order to become the important marketing asset every developer should be.

I spoke at last years SMX West, and have also spoken at BYU Hawaii during an internet business seminar. I have also been a guest blogger regarding development on sites such as Elance.com.

I think I have the most fun being a developmental-entrepreneur through two companies I Co-Founded. They act as my playgrounds for trying new things, without having to wait for corporate red tape or other slow downs. BLVD Status is a real-time analytics company focused on niche and custom reporting, and Showroom Logic helps auto dealerships rank organically for their inventory. Through these companies I have the ability to try, try, try without having to worry about deadlines or a pay-check, giving me an advantage to be flexible and open-minded to techniques and methods other desk-job developers don’t have.
