A journey worth taking begins with a vision.
We began out of a small garage in Rocklin, California back in 2001. We have grown and learned so much in many aspects of what we do every day to help our clients grow.
To be considered an expert, it is said that one must have performed a task for over 10,000 hours. Experts are not born overnight, but only after years of study, focus, willingness to take risks, overcome failure, and a passion to get results.
Having been in business successfully for over 18 years, our founders alone have acquired well over 40,000 hours of experience in how to run a business and more importantly, how to help our clients. We have evolved over the years as an organization and with our roots as a technology company we have grown into a full service digital marketing agency. Give us a call and allow us to introduce ourselves in person. We look forward to getting to know you and your business better soon.

My deepest passion is to learn and educate. Originally I wanted to be a Spanish Professor, but fell in love with the endless evolution of technology and business. Having worked in a large corporation combined with these past years of working with more than 300+ businesses across a plethora of industries assisting with web and technology solutions, I carry a heavy tool belt with a loaded arsenal. I enjoy a challenge. I love to create an architectural map and use the tools at my disposal to bring it to life.
My wife and my boys are my inspiration. God has blessed me with wonderful growing experiences through the years. You name it and I feel like i have lived it. I look forward to future growth opportunities both personal and business.
I believe things happen for a reason. We are all here to learn and progress. Fortunately we each have strengths and the opportunity to assist one another through our challenges during the journey.
Specialties: Leading, managing, creating solutions, and strategist.

Numbers may be my role here at LOJO but, it is the people that I get to meet that excites me! I love to meet new people and learn about their cultures and backgrounds. I am just a country bumpkin at heart myself, growing up with animals and such. My first passion is my family. My husband is my best friend and business partner. Our boys are our inspiration for everything that we do. That is why we take such a personal approach with our business. LOJO is more of an extended family than a business to me.
I love to learn new things, but not in the traditional setting. I love to read! To me it’s better than tv and much more fun than sitting in a desk listening to a lecture. I also love to spend time outside. The sunny beach, the serene forest, the top of a sand dune; you name it, I love it!

Hello my name is Stephen. I am the Solutions Engineer here at LOJO. The title Solutions Engineer was developed because of what I do with each of my clients. First I get to know you and your company so I can discover what it is that you need to grow your business. Then I get to reach into the tool bag of services LOJO offers and find the right ones to solve problems and help your company grow.
Over all I am a pretty easygoing, friendly person. I don’t like high-pressure sales or being pushed into decisions. So I always treat my clients the way I want to be treated. I do my best to lay out all the information and choices and make a educated recommendation for your consideration.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending quality time in the garage working with wood and metal, building and fixing things. I love the outdoors and enjoy camping and hiking. My family is my true passion and they motivate me to work hard and become a better person. I have a wonderful wife Janae and 4 great children. All my kids are into sports. As a family we spend time at the fields playing baseball/ softball and soccer.

I have been working at LOJO since 2013. I enjoy anything technology related which is why LOJO has been a great place for me. I am a quick learner and enjoy being able to solve the most complicated hosting/email issues. I aim to provide great customer service and to help our clients understand the root of any issues they may have because knowledge is power!
I love animals and currently care for five dogs, three bunnies, and three guinea pigs. I love listening to music and going to concerts, and I would rather travel to a new country than have the newest gadget. I am currently in grad school at George Washington University.

I am an experienced SEO Specialist with a demonstrated history of working in the BPO, web design, and internet marketing industry. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree focused in Bachelor of Science in Commerce (BSC) major in Business Management (BM) from De La Salle Lipa University.
I got in the digital marketing world in 2015 as I managed the SEO campaigns for a company that creates real estate websites for realtors, agents and brokers in the US. In 2017, I decided to freelance and that’s when I got to work with clients from various businesses – welding supplies, industrial automotive, modular DIY storage and outdoor products, promotional products, cosmetic surgery, ERP system, and asset finance.
While working, I like listening to Jazz and Bossa Nova covers of pop songs. During the weekends, I like watching crime series, historical documentaries, and a bit of suspense thrillers. Weekend are also spent with my loving husband, 2 homeschooled daughters and 3 adorable fur babies!
As a certified PADI Advanced Scuba Diver, I love to volunteer for underwater clean up, CoTs hunting, and go on fun dives. I enjoy the outdoors and time with friends on off-road and camping trips.

After serving in the United States Navy as an Aviation Electronics
Technician, I received my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
and have observed and helped shift the advances in Technology and
Marketing over the last three decades.
I am originally from San Diego, California but have enjoyed living and
traveling across the United States. With my interests in world history, I have
enjoyed traveling the world but have settled in Medellin, Colombia.
Creating a legacy is what drives me; I strive to make an impact in the lives
of everyone I can. My passion for fitness has inspired me to help others
with exercise and nutrition. As a blessed father of four sons, I build a legacy
through them.

I also have five years of account management experience from the real estate industry and a liberal arts educational background. Aside from reading novels and newspapers, I’ve recently taken fountain pens as a hobby. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our fur babies.



I’m Misha and I like to read, write, sing, watch movies and teach/ practice martial arts.
I’m also a problem solver who enjoys having to learn something new to find solutions, without the need to reinvent the wheel but rather to enhance an alternative perspective of a situation.

Skilled in all areas of creative design, Jomar joined the LOJO family in early 2018. With over 8 years as a creative designer, holding many positions at different companies, his portfolio is vast. He exudes with every project his creative prowess in the industry. Paired with the other creative team members of the company, amazing compositions spring forth to excite our clients.

I have a penchant for learning new skills and obsessing about them for months, and this lead me to where I am now.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, and while I loved writing, my curiosity was a bigger part of me. I got myself in a digital marketing company aspiring to be a writer, but I ended up a digital marketer. I learned SEO, PPC, social media, and email marketing in my first few years, and I haven’t stopped learning just yet.
I look after your websites and make sure that you’re getting noticed – not just by Google, but by people.
I consume anything you can imagine – from music, literature, movies and more. I’m a workaholic culture vulture who’s striving hard to bring a bigger impact in the lives of the people around me. I usually spend my time playing video games, watching movies, listening to jazz, reading a book, or getting frustrated and obsessing about a new skill I want to master.

I am a php programmer and a webmaster for over 5 years now. Web design and development have always been my hobby and passion and now turned it into my profession. I love to take on new challenges and explore new technologies. I like to create and develop fresh, clean and attractive websites.

I’m a digital content writer who loves to get in the weeds with clients and then help them find their way out again. I love figuring out how to use language to help people understand the value of what they’re getting and find ways to make that value as clear and compelling as possible.
My favorite thing about my job is that it allows me to meet passionate individuals from all walks of life and learn how their product or service adds value to the community.
I love how every brand story is different—and how every entrepreneur has something unique to say.
When I’m not working on content for clients, you can find me hanging out with my plants and two dogs, lurking on my go-to forum sites while listening to Ohashi Trio, or binging on my favorite shows from Studio Ghibli and Bob’s Burgers.

Founders
Plain and simple, the founders of LOJO are the Lay family. Eric and Niki Lay met at the local community college; quickly became best friends and within a week they were dating. Eleven months later they were married in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints temple in Oakland, California.
Eric has a strong technical background with his bachelors degree in Information Technology and MBA with an emphasis in Marketing. Eric spends a good amount of his time outside work serving in his church and working to help young men develop life skills. Other time is spent with family, planning out the next adventure. His hobbies include playing racquetball, coaching soccer, working on a honey-due project, or working on converting his suburbia backyard into the ranch style yard he had growing up. Something many people don’t know about Eric is that he is a country boy at heart. He was raised on an ostrich farm out in Loomis, California surrounded with fruit trees. Originally he wanted to be a veterinarian or a Spanish teacher, but life had other plans in store. He is passionate about learning, teaching and helping his neighbor.

Niki is the finance brains behind the operation of LOJO. She manages the day to day finances and keeps the focus on the bottom-line. Her instincts with regards to human resource management are inspired. Outside of the office, Niki runs a full-time job in the role of mom; one of the most thankless jobs known, but certainly one of the most rewarding. She too serves in church responsibilities, working currently with the young women’s program. She loves to spend time with family, be outside, play games, and read. She is also a huge Jane Austen fan.
Jonah and Logan continue to be an active part of LOJO. They get excited to take on more responsibility as they become older and desire to be more involved. Jonah presently is serving a full-time church mission in El Salvador, San Salvador and will be returning in July of 2020. Logan is a junior in high school, very active in school, sports, drama, and musical interests.

History
From its early beginnings as a garage startup in August 2001, LOJO began originally as ENL Computing with its sights on technology support services.
ENL stood for Eric and Niki Lay Computing. I was working at E*TRADE at the time within their information technology department and Niki had recently left E*TRADE’s record devision to take care of our first born, Jonah. In 2003, the need to evolve into a
larger organization was becoming apparent with the increase of clientele. I left my position of 5 years and both Niki and I cashed out our retirement and savings to rebrand the company into Rocklin Systems.
Rocklin Systems Inc. took on its first employees and with the desire for the rebrand to look great, a connection between tech support and graphic design was established. We found that many of our tech clients had graphic design needs which quickly moved the company into offering print, web design, and hosting services. With 5 employees out of the garage, although we were having a blast watching the looks from the neighbors during the warm spring days as we’d open the garage and work, it was time for our first office location.
Eric and Niki moved the business to a commercial location off of Rocklin Road, to become Rocklin Systems, n Rocklin CA, off of Rocklin Road. We sure must be big Rocklin fans! We had our first company car at the time with a large RS magnet on the good. It looked like a race car even though it was a 1996 Mazda 626. his location grew pretty large with an office of about 12 people at one time. Lots of good coverage with an add we ran with the local cable company. Pretty great having my dad be the actor in the commercial, playing the role as the client.
After some time in 2007, we realized it was time for another evolution of the business. We had lost a few large opportunities due to our small town named business as being perceived as too much of a mom and pop shop. We decided it was time to become something more than just an IT company based on our name and Niki said we should do something with the kids names. We had our second child back in 2002 and his name is Logan. We went back and fourth between JO LO and LO JO, LOJO wound up sticking and thus we formed the new entity as LOJO Group, LLC.
The change was good for business as we were able to really define what LOJO was and it actually really helped us to win a few large government bids. One of which was the Stanislaus Superior Court website project. At the same time, we had moved our
office to a temporary location in Roseville. Temporary as we were waiting to locate a good new long term location in the newer side of town in Rocklin. Eventually the new space was ready and we moved back into Rocklin off of Lonetree Blvd. In 2009, the IT side of our business was slowing down by quite a bit while the web design and development side was soaring well. The hard decision was made to slowly close out our offering of IT support. It was not long after this that the demand for marketing was becoming largely requested.
I had gone back to school to complete my masters degree in business with an emphasis in marketing. We expanded our team resource pool to include more marketing centric team members and opened our first service offerings of SEO, PPC, and Social Media Marketing. In 2013, we expanded into email marketing, content creation, and a variety of other marketing services combined together into Internet Marketing Plans.
In late 2015, the decision to leave our location at Lonetree Blvd in Rocklin was hard, as we will miss the golf course. The rent was continuing to increase and as an established service provider, we moved to keep our overhead low and did not feel we need the prestige of waterfalls and a mini golf course for clients to like us. LOL
We love our new office location off of Sunset. This really is one of my favorite locations. We are visited by turkeys quite often. Our evolving focus moving into 2016 has been all about digital marketing. This encompasses our passion for developing out beautiful functional web design sites and helping clients succeed with their online marketing goals. Starting in 2016 we have upgraded the name of the business from LOJO Group to LOJO Marketing with a new byline of Digital Marketing Partners.
In 2018, we made the hard decision to pivot ourselves to a decentralized virtual office environment. All team members work remote from their home offices. This has allowed us to increase our technology and abilities to assist our clients with increased marketing efforts, improved content creation, and optimized results amongst our marketing software and service offerings.
We look forward to working with our clients as their digital marketing partner to bring about the success of their marketing goals.
