Dave Chesson started his adult life as a US Navy Commissioned Officer. He had this crazy dream to one day become a nuclear engineer and despite how challenging it was for him, he finally made it and passed all the god-forsaken exams and interviews.
But in the end, Dave wasn’t happy with his new work life. He was away from home all the time, missed out of family events and just became disconnected. Life was passing him by and he was missing out on live with his young family.
While still in the Navy, Dave spent his nights working on his side hustle: online marketing. He started by creating niche websites, and earning advertisement and affiliate commissions. After spending years practicing and learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as more of an obsession than a hobby, he quickly expanded his website arsenal to 27 different sites, all of which are used for different online purposes and endeavors.
But it wasn’t until he discovered self-publishing on Amazon that he kicked it into the next gear. Combining his SEO knowledge and website development experience with Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Dave found his mark.
