I have a great wife, 5 kids, and 9 grandkids and 1 great-granddaughter. I am a brother, uncle, father, grandfather, great grandfather, husband, internet marketer, golfer, and work-at-home entrepreneur among other things. I am a Christian, world traveler, U.S. Navy veteran, mentor and friend to mention a few other things.
I started my small business in 1996 providing tax preparation services to individuals and small companies. A number of my tax clients were small business owners operating out of their homes. Due to the seasonal nature of tax preparation, I researched creating other sources of income, particularly on the internet since these businesses could be operated from home.
Along the way, I built a number of websites related to small/home business tax issues. I gradually moved into the internet marketing niche and built other websites including AchieveUSA, which was my most successful website. I also published ezines including “Today’s Network Marketer,” published articles including “How to Market on the Internet for Free” and “Tax Saving Tips for the Self-Employed.”
Major surgery put me out of business in 2006. It took quite awhile regain my full strength and stamina. Starting over was not so bad. I love the fun and challenge. But here is the best part, it is not hard. It’s simple when you have faith in Jesus (Romans 3:22-23)!
My objective is to create wealth to enjoy a comfortable retirement with good health to enjoy time with my wife and family. To that end, I desire to help as many people as I can to achieve their goals. As I had help, in the beginning, I wish to help other people starting out.

Thank you for the time you took to tell about yourself. I am 60 years old, in relatively good health (strength training, high-intensity interval training, of course with a few niggles here and there, and a chronic condition or two to boot). I am a physiologist, in preparation for retirement in the next few years (as soon as I can afford it).
I work hard to have a positive mental state, and I can tell you being Christian where I get my will to face each and every moment.
Thank you for sharing

Hi Glen,
I am having a little trouble with my direction and keywords. I have put it out there and have gotten some answers but i think Im not asking the right questions. I am not getting the results from the training segment I should. My first direction yielded me QSR of 193. One member answered me this way...
"@Nicmar003 Its not a bad keyword but you can do better.
Your ideal would be
QSR under 100 and preferably a lot more.
Your Traffic over 100
Your SEO in the late 80's into the 90's.
I personally try to get my QSR under 50 and even lower to 10 or under and I have to say I can usually achieve this.
He sent me his list of blogs on the keyword subject but it is over my head at this point.

Very interesting life. I don't think you should ever retire. People like you have made WA what it is now. Really an inspiration for newbies. Could you also share the website that you've mentioned about internet marketing? I would also be reading your blogs here as it looks like you've covered pretty much everything.

First and most important want to thanks you for your military service.
Second, thank you for joining my network of WA followers. It is always nice to meet fellow Christian believers who display their faith in ways that make others take notice of what you have. (Matthew 19:26)
Third, your bio is very impressive. Are you still doing tax preparation? Have friends who do tax preparation and are always glad when the closing bell rings.
Best wishes for blessings and success

Thanks so much for the kind words, Barry. I don't do tax prep anymore. I had major surgery in December many years ago. I took a while to recover, which caused me to miss tax season. And then left me without the stamina to do much let alone stay current with changes in taxes. This was a fortunate change as affiliate marketing is far more enjoyable than working on tax returns.
Cheers,
Glen

Hi Renee. You are welcome! Please feel free to ask any question. But be warned, they will be honest and straight to the point. I have been a WA member since May 2016. And, yes, I have been vocal about expressing my opinion about some aspects of WA I don't like. After all, nothing is perfect. But we can work around them.

Coming over to your profile Glen, from a comment you made on Roberts (RPP) site earlier which brought on some quality thoughts for me.
By your well-written bio and many accomplishments in business and now digital marketing I am very happy I did.
You share the military background with Robert. Though I realize the two of you were in separate services, however what comes to mind is the certain camaraderie you find in the people who (have) served together and how they form relationships for life.Their is something in that experience...and in reference to his post gratifying to think about.
Anyway,Good sir, There are a lot of posts here that you have authored and as is my habit I will visit again and bring your insight to bear. Thanks for being here Glen, Wa is one of my favorite place to learn and grow.

Hi Glen,
I have been exploring other ways to generate income using the internet and I came across a program called prosperity marking system with a 7 day free trial. I proceeded to do some research and came across your review, you had mentioned wealthy affiliates. I felt with being apart of this program as well I wanted to reach out to you and maybe pick your brain and ask you your opinion on the program and if it's worth participating in?
I an new to all of this so I was hoping to get another legit opinion before I invested time into that program as well? If you have a few spare minute would you mind giving me your option or guidence with this ?
Thank you

Hi Glen,
Thanks for the follow.
I am into my second month now and building the foundation and I take encouragement from your words: "But here is the best part, it is not hard. It’s simple when you have a plan!"
Sounds like you're doing well after surgery 11 years ago so you can endure more punishment in the game of chasing the little white ball.
Both physically and mentally the hardest game I have played. The best way I can describe physical to people who do not play golf is in the golf saying: a shank is the closest thing to a perfect shot. Don't know who came up with that but in reality, there is no room for error, unless you get a lucky bounce.
All the best Glen in health and wealth.
Cheers
Brad

Then you have the mental side as well.
My best round in a course where I was a member was 6 over.
I got cocky and had a lesson to improve my game and the following week in a medal round was 1 under after 11 holes.
I started thinking about the 6 over and how I was going to smash it. I started to play safe and bludge the ball to the hole, without thinking of how I got to 1 under in the first place by hitting it.
Then it all fell apart and I dropped 9 shots in the last 7 holes to come in 8 over. CHOKED!

Hello Glen ... thank you for the follow. As I read your profile the thought that entered my mind was why did you become a member? Then it occurred to me that the WA platform value for a person with your internet business experience must lie in our SiteRubix portal which provides internet business services that would cost you hundreds of dollars a month.
The cost to you could be as low as $25 a month if you take advantage of the Black Friday promo towards the end of November.
I wish you the best as you continue to rebuild your internet business set back in 2006.

With that in mind, I will definitely be following you along our chosen path to success. It will be interesting to see how you enrich the WA community with your extensive knowledge. For me, the internet used to be just a place to play games-not any more!

Hi Glen, thanks also for the follow, being new to WA I have been taking the opportunity to have a look around and in particular at the many blogs and websites that the longer members have written and built.
If these are the result of the training here at WA, there is no way you can fail if you stick to it and put in the hard yards.
I was very impressed with homebusinessforveterans.com, a very professional and well presented website, if I can build something half as good I will be very happy, wishing all the best Glen, cheers Max.

Thank you for your kind words! WA is a great place to learn about our business. I made it a point to follow every Ambassador and top 100 members. All are great examples to follow. But everyone is worth following. All have experiences worth sharing.
Thank you for your service to our country. I came up through the ranks after enlisting. My career trajectory derailed from working in a acquisition program where the Program Manager and deputy were fired by SecNav. Program was grossly over budget and schedule and constantly on the front page of the Washington Post. My career was part of the collateral damage. It just opened the door to bigger and better things, just not in the military.
Best of success to you.

Hi, Glen!
I've been to Woodbridge. Such a great place for families, yet close to Mount Vernon :) and not too far from DC.
Were you a fighter pilot by chance? (I'm looking at your neck in your main profile picture and thinking G-force—or maybe lifting a lot of iron. :)
Oh gosh, your mention of AchieveUSA (yes, a great name!) reminds me of some domains that I have had and dropped, only to see them being resold for something ridiculous. Ugh. lol.
It sounds like we have followed at least some similar tracts at one point or another. You obviously have a lot of life experiences to share. And I have no doubt that you will be successful, again, doing exactly that.
Happy to be "following" you now.
