Endorsements
“Mr. Carroll is a true social media expert. I hired him for social media strategy and tactics. He explained the industry and technology in very easy to understand fashion. He developed a highly successful content strategy based on marketing and psychology principles. 5 Stars.”
– Chase Morinaka, Estate Planning and Business Lawyer
“Chuck was one of the employees I supported during my time at Swift. As a member of the IT team, I was used to dealing with the occasional silly question or easy-to-knock-out ticket for setting up a printer or something equally as mundane. Chuck is one of those users that I loved though because his questions were always ones that made me think, and I never had to worry about something being overlooked before he came to me for help. He’s genuine, thorough, and has a keen analytical mind. Any team would benefit from having him as a member!”
– Dan Marshall, Technical Consultant | Author | Public Speaker
