STEPHEN BARNA – Financial Officer

Stephen is the financial officer at Purple Bean Media who has his head in the clouds…literally! When he‘s not crunching numbers and overseeing the budget, he‘s up in the sky – flying planes. He‘s a bit of an old–fashioned guy (read: old man) and has no social media, but his passion for aviation is unmistakable. He‘s often seen on the tarmac with a smile on his face, holding the controls of his plane with a twinkle in his eye. He’s married to Sherri and together they have three kids.

Bruce Lamb – SEO Ninja

Bruce is Purple Bean’s search engine optimization (SEO) expert.  He optimized his first website for Alta Vista, MSN Search, Webcrawler and Yahoo back in 1995 — years before Google even existed.  He knows what SEO activities work and which activities just a waste of time, effort and money and he is continually running tests to see what can “move the needle” when it comes to improving our clients’ placement in Google.

When Bruce isn’t delving into the bits and bytes of SEO, he enjoys playing hockey, running marathons and going in competitions with his horse, Gamble.
