Inventor: I'm an innovator. I generate and materialize ideas in a variety of industries, from software, to toys, to pet care, to cooking. I have brought many products to market through a variety of business models, including licensing ideas, private label manufacturing, and crowdfunding. Professional Speaker: I am a transformational trainer and regularly lead multi-day in person and online emotional intelligence trainings. I also lead custom designed corporate trainings on topics such as leadership, communication, sales, and teamwork.Entrepreneur: I began my first business in my bedroom as a teenager, breeding and selling exotic birds. Later, I started an aquarium maintenance company, setting up sophisticated reef aquariums in homes and offices. I began developing my own filtration equipment to sell to my clients, which I later began to sell through mail-order. This led eventually to the founding of a business developing aquarium products, and then guitar accessories, and then everything else I could think of. I am always looking for the next innovation and eager to partner with other inventors and product developers to create breakthrough products and businesses.Specialties: Invention, Product development, naming, branding, Asian sourcing, Chinese sourcing, prototyping, patents, intellectual property, licensing, import/export, product design, 3D modeling, domestic sourcing, package design, graphic design, design strategy, invention strategy, brainstoriming, innovation
