My wife Jhael and I unofficially started this company in 2007 while completing my Master’s in Cross-Cultural Communications at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA, and learning the world of Open-Source CMS (Content Management System) websites. Mainly JOOMLA!

Initially, we were a membership-based nonprofit operating on a simple idea, “How can we help other nonprofits grow.” I was serving as a youth pastor at an Armenian Church in Glendale, California, developing a passion for digital communications.

I officially took my passion to a new level in 2017 after I moved to Miami from Los Angeles. I stopped running the business as a side hustle and deep-dived into the full-time work of an entrepreneur as my wife worked full-time to make ends meet.

We quickly came to admire the for-profit sector. Humans “work” more than we sleep, worship, and play. God must have meant for work to be enjoyable and a means to prosperity, or he would not have our work so much. 

Honest, thoughtful, and hard work is the purest form of honoring God and helping our neighbors. Work centered on our giftings and capacity is the best way of lifting people out of poverty, depression, and addictions. The greatest blessing to a community is when people love what they do and they passionately innovate tools to help others.

Doesn’t the barista who sings as they make your coffee give you chills? Doesn’t the lawyer that goes the extra mile to counsel you makes you feel secure? Doesn’t the waiter who serves you with a smile and pep in their step make you want to tip them more? Zeal and love for our clients are what we are about.

Since 2017, Global Presence has grown an average of 100% to 300% yearly with new clientele and revenues. Along the way, we have learned from our mistakes and triumphs. We are constantly learning and optimizing our processes as we understand more clearly what businesses need to generate leads, manage their customers, and grow their businesses quantitively and qualitatively.
