Summary

I have been called a serial entrepreneur, a maven, a business development guy and other things. Above them all I feel I have to have a deep passion for whatever I am doing and enjoy who I am doing business with.

I have been involved with the Internet, Search, Online Communities and Advertising/PR since the early 90's.

Have a deep passion for Search Optimization, Mobile Apps, Social Media, Video Games and the Hosting Industry. Enjoy building profitable online businesses that can truly make a positive impact on others lives. Being involved with the growth of an organization from creation until it is sold.

I believe in the Pay-it-Forward mindset and always looking to help people connect. If you are looking for something and I can help, feel free to message me. The Karma wheel always comes around.
