Trent Blizzard
TrentTrent is the President and co-founder of Blizzard Internet Marketing. Trent began optimizing tourism websites in 1997 and has maintained a keen interest in Search Engine Marketing ever since. He considers his main expertise to be SEO with a specialized focus toward Social Media Optimization, Google Vertical Search, Blogging, and Analytics. Before launching his Internet marketing company, Trent taught math and history at Mary Help of Christians Academy in Patterson, NJ, where he also claims the honor of being one of the most unsuccessful coaches in the school’s history – in 3 sports, no less! Thankfully, his record as an SEM coach reflects a much higher aptitude for getting positive results from his teams. Trent is a member of the National Speakers Association and has been one of the more prolific presenters in the industry.

In the past 10 years, Trent has spoken at over 150 hospitality, travel and tourism conferences. His record of repeat engagements speaks to his dynamic style and ability to connect with his audience. You just can’t teach the type of enthusiasm and dedication Trent brings to each and every presentation. His obvious enjoyment in sharing his expertise with others is reflected by the consistently positive feedback he receives from his assemblies.

Trent empowers the members of his audiences by presenting useful material they can easily integrate into their own Internet marketing endeavors.
