Personal: Evan is a generally nice guy living in Atlanta. He enjoys photography, golf, fly fishing, riding bikes, reading magazines (trouble finishing books sometimes), and an array of hobbies in constant cycle that have been a source of ridicule for years. While others choose to poke, the lambasting is fueled only by jealousy of not knowing how to keep a tropical fish tank, construct a gas-powered remote control car, or embrace Geocaching. Some hobbies last longer than others, but they have all been fun and interesting.

Professional: Evan LaPointe is an expert in a number of web-centric development, design and marketing practices and is Founder and President of Marketing Alpha LLC http://www.marketingalpha.com. Evan has been creating web sites for personal and professional use for a very long time (since before AOL had a web browser) and has been wooed by the Internet for as long as he can remember. With experience in web development, search marketing, web analytics and other roles, it's a real been there, done that scenario.

Marketing Alpha focuses on providing key decision makers with a sounding board: knowing that managing a business with a primary or large online presence can be as confusing as anything that has ever been done before, the consultancy provides decision makers and executives with a voice of reason when making the tough calls on how to execute specific tactics or create widespread strategy. From navigating the process of hiring a search marketing agency or choosing a web analytics tool to getting your IT teams to work with your creative teams, Evan has been there and seen it all before, and can help large businesses sort through the mess of it all.

Basically all Evan is trying to do is help other people avoid the pitfalls of working online, and hopefully can provide some knowledge here and there to make the world a better place.

In more important news, Evan aspires to be a professional golfer. Yes, it is ridiculous and insane, thanks for re-affirming that.
