Josh Rubin
Josh Rubin grew up in Southern California, and first discovered an interest in web design when he built his first website in the mid-1990s, and began his Internet marketing career in 2003 as a graphic designer and web developer. He developed an expertise in SEO, web development, and overall marketing strategy, and has run marketing campaigns for both startups and established national companies. In 2009 he launched his own SEO and web design company, Creative California, and in 2016 merged his company with Nowspeed and subsequently became the owner and CEO. In his free time, he volunteers with Sacramento’s SCORE, suffers through one terrible 49ers season after another, and explores Sacramento’s countless brunch offerings.
