Building awesome products and services...

Playhem adds rewards to gaming.

I started this as a company to invest in causes I believed in and to promote the lessons I had learned from my mom. Honestly all of the projects I worked on here struggled to get any traction, and I closed up the company in April of 2008.

I'm a partner and Managing Director of Sheffield Capital, a company that specializes in acquiring cash flow positive, niche, web communities. We are funded and actively buying up sites across a large number industries.

A bootstrapped company focused on providing phone customer service and lead generation internet solutions for offline businesses. We focused initially on car dealerships in the midwest, which was a good strategy to generate initial traction but a bad strategy to generate revenue (car dealerships are difficult to collect from). I left the company in Jan 2006 after my mother passed away, and the company dissolved in August 2006. Highlights:-Created the concept based on market research, brought together a development and sales team and launched within 6 weeks.-Acquired 15 paying customers within a week of launch-managed development and sales team-built and optimized website

I oversaw the development of an international exporter of off lease and refurbished computing equipment to Spain, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina. I took the company from nothing, to nearly $100k in sales within the first 12 months. I was active in all aspects of the company including hiring, accounting, sales, operations, and fulfillment. I managed the currency exchange process, maximizing company profits by converting to dollars at the most profitable times. Highlights:-Created concept and launched international electronics seller within 1 week-Pushed company sales to nearly $100k in first 10 months-Developed wholesale relationships with customers in Italy, Spain, and Brazil-Hired and managed employees for business development and fulfillment-Transitioned company after facing intense competitive pricing into web affiliate company-Generated nearly $200k sales in 1 month for an affiliate partner

We specialized in selling cars for people. We're the first true alternative to selling your car yourself, and trading it in. We did all the work, and you kept the money.I wrote the plan for this business, raised some angel investment commitments, and was responsible for overseeing the development of our customized software and website. We ultimately chose to shut down the company due to extremely difficult legal issues surrounding this business model, although we did generate some revenue in a very short period of time.Highlights:-Conducted months of comprehensive detailed market research in the automotive industry-managed web development-managed web advertising/pr campaign-Bootstrapped the company development
