Meet Our Interns: Christopher Johnston

Christopher Johnston (@chrisjohnston) is 37-year old husband, father, christian, iPhone owner, and new Mac user. A recovering former financial advisor, passionate about the new green economy and how it will help my hometown, New Orleans, recover from Hurricane Katrina.

Hello, I’m Christopher Johnston a father of two, full-time student, Realtor, and now blogging intern at Sparkplugging.  I’ve been on the web since 1994 and remember using the browsers Lynx and Mosaic and the original search engines, Archie and Veronica. In December of last year I bought an iPhone and I realized that the world would be forever changed.
It is now more important than ever that your company be found when people go to Google to search for it. They will look to the net from their netbook, phone, or laptop for all their information needs. Google, Facebook, and the social networks of the future will be tomorrow’s Yellow Pages.

I want to help companies make sure they get found when their customers go to those places looking for them. I’m so dedicated to this pursuit that I’m pursuing an online bachelor’s degree in Internet Marketing at Full Sail University.

I also realize that this can be done from anywhere in the world I can get an internet connection. With EVDO cards and ever more ubiquitous Wi-Fi, that could be a beach on the French Riviera or a tapas café in Barcelona. I’m confident that that my internship at Sparkplugging will teach me the skills of how to work from anywhere.

I look forward to the hope that you enjoy my blogging and make me an addition to your RSS reader.
