Head YES man at FresYes.com
I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.
I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.
I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.
Fresno? I say FresYES

The talk of the town these days in Fresno and communities across the country is Google Fiber and how to get it!
Back in mid February Google announced plans to launch an experiment that would make internet access better and faster for everyone involved. Their plan is to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in trial locations across the country (initially 50,000 up to 500,000 people) . These networks would potentially deliver internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today <— That’s FAST!
Since the announcement communities have been putting in applications for their city in every which way they can think of… Doing a quick Google search for Google Fiber under the video heading results in some pretty cool stuff and creative efforts.
So what has Fresno done? Reports say enough to climb up the rankings some 174% with its #fiberfresno effort currently at #4 nationally (up from #6)!
Check out and become a fan on Facebook here! Two of my favorite creative efforts are this map by local talent Davier Interactive and the official video submission by Fresno below.
