After 20 years of a technology career as a Systems Engineer including positions as a Microsoft Engineer and also a Novell Engineer way-back-when, specializing in task automation with extensive experience in end user support at all levels, Kari decided to switch gears and move into the web arena with Wordpress as her focus. In the middle of her technology career, she decided to take the leap into small business and become the owner of a doggy daycare and overnight boarding facility. This experience, while an experiment that did not work as expected, gave her an amazing education to add to her skill set, most importantly, the ability to identify with other small business owners. From that came the passion to help small business owners with their marketing needs.
