My name Greg Goodson, and I currently reside in Park City, UT. I graduated from Georgia Tech in December 2006 with a degree in Business Management with certificates in Marketing and Operations Management. After working at a company called 360i – a digital online agency with a strong emphasis in search engine marketing (SEM, SEO, Social Media, etc.) for a year and a half, I packed up and relocated to Park City, UT to pursue a job as a search engine marketing and shopping portals analyst for Backcountry.com. I’ve been out here for two years now, and the 24/7/365 outdoor scene of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah is just too good to pass up!
When I am not working, I keep up with many different hobbies. My first hobby is running; I have over 25 ultra-marathons (any footrace that is over 26.2 miles marathon distance – usually 50K, 50M, 100K, and 100M runs) under my belt, as well as 5+ marathons (3:08 personal best), and numerous shorter distance races. I also play a mean bluegrass guitar. I follow my Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets religiously (both football and basketball), and I find myself helping other e-commerce companies improve their marketing programs from time to time.
I consider myself an outdoorsy kinda guy – hiking, backpacking, trail-running, camping, etc. Just about all of my vacation days from 2007 to present were used to visit locations in Virginia, NC, TN, and WV – running races, backpacking, skiing, etc. My favorite adventure was a 10 day trip out to Montana’s Glacier National Park in August/September of 2007. I recently acquired a new pair of skies to hit the powder that comes to Utah in the winter. May 2010 bring me less broken bones than 2009!
If I am not outside doing something, which I usually am, I am inside, browsing the internet, either networking in some fashion, or trying find opportunities to work for myself. I did a good amount of affiliate marketing over the last few years with some moderate success. I enjoy blogging, but I bought GregGoodson.com and GregoryGoodson.com with the intention to develop it before another Greg Goodson out there decided to. I am happy I made this move!
I plan on using this blog to share pictures, videos, and my latest adventures with family and friends, as well as network with other professionals in my field. I am ranked 1st in Google for the term “Greg Goodson”. Sadly, this is a big deal to me. I am always on the lookout for more inbound links.
