Origin Story: Where It All Started

Kris’s journey toward what he is today wasn’t a quick decision, but rather a path shaped by years of learning and exploration.

After completing a Software Engineering Degree in 2006 at the Queensland University of Technology, Kris felt that staying in Brisbane wasn’t for him. So, he set off for Europe, working with companies like Euroclear and Sony, all while searching for his big career break. Then, the Global Financial Crisis hit. And like many others, he unfortunately lost his contract. 

It was during this time that a personal project sparked his interest in digital marketing.

Kris developed an online game and needed a way to attract more players. This led him to discover SEO, which became his gateway to digital marketing, and his expertise grew from there.

In 2013, Kris moved to the Philippines, where he laid the foundation for Ardor SEO to expand globally. Over time, his passion for helping businesses evolved into a broader mission to revolutionize the real estate industry.

This vision led him to create Icons of Real Estate, the #1 Real Estate Podcast Network, helping agents leverage podcasting to enhance their authority and achieve lasting success!
