Chef Keem - who the hell is he?

All of the above.

Chef Keem (that's me, and I have no idea why I'm writing in the third person) was born and raised in Munich, Germany. Munich (München) is the capital city of Bavaria (Bayern).

After a nice little career as a pop music songwriter, arranger, and record producer, Chef Keem met a lady from San Antonio, TX, and he wanted to marry her. Emigration was in order, in 1981, at age 31.

I was so crazy in love that I sold and gave away everything I owned, paid off my debts, and got on a plane to America. With $500 in my pocket. Did I mention that I was nuts?

And so it went...(let's continue in the first person, ok?)

I discovered my love for the culinary arts and became a chef. After a few years of cooking---even in the wilderness of Alaska---I started my own specialty foods company making pastries, candies, and the first ever flavored agave nectar.

I also dabbled a little in basic website building...you know - on Yahoo. Stone Age.

Everything changed when I discovered Squidoo.com. Everything.

That was in 2008, and I haven't looked back since. I've studied web 2.0 as if my life depended on it. Well, today it does. I make a living as a blogger and online consultant. Dream come true, if you ask me.

In the Texas summer heat of 2010, everything changed again. (You think I have too much drama in my life?) I was invited to check out a new German online portal, similar to Squidoo and hubpages, and I was instantly impressed with PageWizz.com. Since November 2010, I'm the community manager at PageWizz and I love it, love it, love it. If you speak German, you should check it out.

One day we decided to offer the feel of this fine portal, and the wonderful energy of its management team to the English-speaking world, as well. Wizzley.com was born. (Have you heard of it?) If you are an online author who wants to write within a very supportive community, and make a few bucks along the way...you should sign up right away. It's free. Of course.

Let me give you a couple examples of my web consulting business...

Dr. Michael Kunze is the most successful stage author in the history of German-language musical theater. He would love to share his expertise with the world, and I help him with that mission. We run a fabulous website---MusicalWorkshop.org---and an extensive social media campaign.

David Schneider and Philip Myers are two of the most professional and helpful real estate agents I've ever met. I'm thrilled to support their marketing efforts with ShadyHollowAustin.net and the management of their facebook and Twitter accounts.

I couldn't do any of this without the incredible creative force of my business partner, Anne Corcino. If you need domain registration, website hosting, premium Wordpress themes, and unparalleled support - contact her through SEOPraxis.com. You'll be glad you did, and it'll save you a boat load of time and head-scratching. (Pssst...she's "nightowl" on wizzley.com)
