Steve Morales Resumes GeoDomain Duties After U.S. Army Mission Takes Him Away for Seven Months

After a long absence on an overseas tour of duty with the U.S. Army, geodomain fans will be happy to hear that Steve Morales is back at work at SimplyGeo.com LLC (a joint venture between Morales and Skip Hoagland) where Morales writes the SimplyGeo.com blog and administers the GeoDomainer.com social community. 

Morales, who is a Sergeant First Class in the Army Quartermasters Corps, made his first post since last April at SimplyGeo.com today. Morales told us, "I want to apologize to all Geodomain supporters and our SimplyGeo.com readership for the leave of absence without communicating my situation. However, as many of you know, when the Armed Forces calls for duty, you must go. That is all that I can say. The good news is I am back to complete what I initiated with some solid team members."

"There were a variety of projects and services announced that SimplyGeo.com LLC was launching when the economy was booming," Morales continued. "I wanted to give the community our reasons for delaying the launch of these projects/services. The economic meltdown has been our number 1 enemy in launching our services. Money is tight in every industry and Consumers/Business owners are just not willing to spend money as freely as they once did during the good ole days."

"In order to become successful with launching new services, you have to have an abundance of paying customers to pay for development expenses. Simple words for entrepreneurs, you don't build a business to lose money! Everything is about timing and at this stage of our planning, we will move forward cautiously and launch these products one site at a time. I will explain more of this situation on SimplyGeo.com in the coming weeks," Morales said, adding "In the meantime, you can utilize GeoDomainer.com, SimplyGeo.com, and SimplyGeo.net to network and find services, and get targeted questions answered.  Thank you for your continued support!"

While Morales is not at liberty to talk about the mission he was away on, it is clear that he is doing a good job in his military position. Last week he receive a commendation for his recent service directly from Brigadier General Jesse R. Cross, the Commanding General of the 118,000 soldiers in the QuarterMaster Corps, the largest Corps in the U.S. Army).

Skip Hoagland

Morales expressed a special thank you to his partner for keeping things together in his absence. "Without Skip Hoagland our developments and services being launched would not be strategically possible. Everything would have fallen apart this year without him as my partner," Morales said. 

"I really think it is important for readers to understand how hard it is to find a professional business partner as a best friend, mentor, and coach who is willing to do what it takes to build success in this industry legally for all involved. Additionally, Skip has continued to build our empire by acquiring LocalDomains.com. To most this does not seem like a big acquisition, but wait till you see what we are going to do with this popular brand in the local space for small business owners."
