    Robert Velarde and I go back seven years I have been so humbled to work with someone as talented as Robert.

    Robert is someone who doesn’t tell you what he can do, he shows you through his actions. When it comes to the internet Robert is defiantly someone I listen to he understands SEO and Social Media he has taken everyone he works with and has successfully ranked them to be found in the top of the search engines and creates friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter with the best of them, he has taught me well when it comes to social media and I have to say I have yet to hear of someone that knows more than Robert. He stays up on all the latest by reading everything he can get his hands on then he applies it to see how well these new ideas really work. Robert is relentless never tires and doesn’t stop until the job is finished or he is satisfied that he has under promised and over delivered. I am proud to call him my friend, partner and my mentor.

    I have observed Robert A. Velarde first hand for 7 years. He has skills in social media advertising, SEO, and public speaking. I also learned that he has training in conflict resolution which makes him an objective mediator and therefore helpful to any organization. Robert also has a respected reputation as a leader and contributor to a national networking association . He has become a friend but I am offering this unsolicited recommendation because he has earned it by helping others and exhibiting social media skills in the process.
