About Steven Chayer

Seattle-Based Entrepreneur | U.S. Navy Veteran | SEO & Reputation Specialist | Founder of DisputeVoice

Who I Am

My name is Steven Chayer, and I founded DisputeVoice to help honest people turn unresolved disputes into public, search-optimized stories that can’t be quietly ignored.

I’m a U.S. Navy veteran, a tradesman by training, and a career entrepreneur with four decades of experience building businesses rooted in service, trust, and accountability.

I live in SeaTac, Washington, with my wife Elizabeth. We have two sons: Andy, a digital marketing expert, and Dennis, the founder of Buggy Scrubbers Mobile Detail. I built this life the old-fashioned way—through hard work, craftsmanship, and refusing to back down when people try to take advantage of others.

Today, my work is focused on one thing: turning financial disputes into search-visible, evidence-backed records that help protect the next person.

Why I Started DisputeVoice

In 2022, I lost $328,495.95 to Eyad Abbas and Dustin Beaudreau, two individuals and entities involved in a “Done-For-You Amazon” store investment. For no explicable reason, a portion of that loss—$135,494.99—was routed through Evertsen Equities, linked to Harvard graduate Blake Evertsen.

When repeated, reasonable requests for accountability were met with three months of silence, I turned to what I do best: using content and search to create visibility. I wrote my first warning and, before publishing, sent it to them, giving them a chance to respond, promising to include their reply and evidence. They responded within five minutes! That's when I knew my warning had a unique reach beyond Google reviews, Reddit, Facebook, and other channels.

DisputeVoice was born from that experience—not just to document my own loss, but to create a platform where others can speak up, present evidence, and be found in search results without needing a lawyer or the media’s permission.

My Career: From Electrician to Reputation Specialist

  • U.S. Navy Veteran – I trained and served as an electrician, learning the precision, discipline, and safety mindset that shaped the rest of my career.
  • Entrepreneur & Tradesman – After leaving the Navy, I built a thriving painting & remodeling company in Anchorage and later in Seattle. At its peak, my business employed over 60 painters and generated more than $2 million in annual revenue, including high-risk industrial projects like large airplane hangars with strict inspection and safety requirements.
  • Co-Owner of Three Schools – Alongside my wife, Elizabeth, I help run:
    • American Dance Institute (Seattle & Shoreline, WA)
    • Any Day Ballet (online adult-beginner ballet)
    • Shoreline Music School
  • Digital Strategist & Reputation Builder – For more than a decade, I’ve personally managed the SEO, Google Ads, and digital publishing for our schools and now for DisputeVoice. I don’t just post a story and hope it ranks—I design a full search strategy around it. That includes structured pages with strong on-page SEO, internal linking, schema markup, and coordinated versions on platforms like WordPress, Medium, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and YouTube. I also build out supporting Google properties, local search signals so your evidence-backed report is easier to find when people search for the person or company who hurt you.  Behind the scenes, I monitor rankings, refine headlines and metadata, and keep testing what helps truthful, well-documented stories show up prominently—while preserving clear labels, right-of-reply, and other safety guardrails.

The same skills that helped me grow and protect our family businesses now power DisputeVoice: structured storytelling, evidence-driven publishing, and search visibility.

What DisputeVoice Stands For

DisputeVoice is not just a blog—it’s a documentation and visibility engine for financial injustice.

We help people:

  • Present evidence-based narratives instead of vague complaints
  • Structure their stories with search-optimized clarity so they can be found
  • Remain anonymous publicly if they wish, while still making the truth visible
  • Create a durable, searchable record that can deter future harm and encourage accountability

Our focus is simple: real stories, real evidence, and real visibility.

Results & Recognition

  • DisputeVoice posts are ranking on Page 1 of Google for several targets within 30–60 days in competitive niches.
  • DisputeVoice content is being published on Medium and referenced or shared on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms.
  • I apply advanced SEO strategies—including structured content, authority-building backlinks, and cloud/Google property stacking—to give each story the best chance of being discovered when people search names and entities.

My Family & Roots

My wife Elizabeth and I started our life together in Alaska, where we built a cabin in Willow in 1977 and raised our family while I worked as a painting contractor. That combination of hands-on work, harsh conditions, and tight-knit community shaped how I see responsibility, trust, and reputation.

Over 40 years, I went from painting small interiors to leading large crews on complex, high-risk industrial projects—including a major airport hangar that became my final job before retiring from painting in 2014. I painted that hangar with my two sons, Andy and Denny, under the watchful eye of experienced inspectors and project leaders.
