Sandro Galindo
Sandro Galindo is a digital marketer focusing on search engine marketing & optimization. He just celebrated his 12th Twitterversary and was named by WKYC in 2009 as one of the 10 Most Interesting Twitterers in NE Ohio (though he’s pretty sure his mom stuffed the ballot).
He started in digital marketing by handling social media marketing for small businesses and eventually expanded into event marketing and finally search. He is the co-host of Liz & Sandro’s Marketing Podcast now in its 4th year, founder of SouperBowl CLE, a soup crawl and competition and co-founder of a nachos & margarita festival coming later this year.
Bill Rice
Bill Rice is the Founder/CEO of Kaleidico, a digital agency focused on lead generation. Bill regularly writes and speaks about designing lead generation systems and platforms that deliver consistent sales growth.
Kaleidico’s specialty practice areas include Banking (Lending & Wealth Management), Legal (Personal Injury & Mergers and Acquisitions), Emerging Technology, and Senior Living.
Angela Bergmann
Angela Bergmann is the Lead SEO Strategist at Advance Local. She has 15+ years of experience in digital marketing, with a specific focus on SEO. She views a win based on conversion and organic growth, not increasing keyword rankings. Beyond SEO she is passionate about advocacy work, gaming, dogs, WordPress, and accessibility.
William Bergmann
William is a 38-year old semi-pro WordPress user who has been on many sides of the table: including WordPress developer, content creator, and as a Project Manager overseeing WordPress development. He is passionate about helping people leverage technology to maximize their potential, and about using WordPress as a means to democratize publishing/human expression.
Paul Oyler
Paul Oyler, the owner of Oyler Creative, builds and manages websites for small businesses, churches, organizations, and racetracks, as well as artists and bloggers.
Public speaking is important to Paul because he believes in educating others. He’s spoken on why people should care about the WordPress community, the necessity of having an emergency readiness plan, and has appeared on several podcasts.
When Paul isn’t working with clients, you can find him spending quality time with his family, reading, enjoying and listening to music, or rooting for the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, as well as the Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins.
Say hi to him on Twitter at @PappyOyler and check out his website at oylercreative.com.
Jeremy Ward
A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, Jeremy first got his start in web development as a hobby, when he learned to build static websites for his bands and friends. This part-time curiosity blossomed into interests in database queries and server-side languages, and by 2013, he began a full-time career in computer programming.
Today, Jeremy works as a Senior Backend Engineer at WebDevStudios, where he’s passionate about software architecture, modular design, sussing out acceptance criteria for website features, and promoting the merits of the hottest new board games.
