Born into a farm family I have always worked for family owned businesses or as an independent contactor favoring "mom and pop" companies. Divinely patriotic and pro-business myself both as a small business owner and as a state legislator following a few years as a radio-TV newscaster and talk show host my experiences landed contracts and positions within several direct sales companies and the marketing of myself as a strong applier of creative advertising and business plans.Having been CEO of a Chamber of Commerce during the early growth years of the WalMart, Home Depot and others vast expansions I saw them displacing many sole proprietorship businesses in U.S. towns and cities of all sizes; the very entities who had survived with strong customer relations, service to the community and primarily funded the local high school and amateur sports teams, bands, and arts. Locolmotion.com will be open only to businesses and organizations showing business licenses within our state and documented proof of local ownership intended to reflect an advanced degree of patriotic consumerism beyond the Buy Made In America theme. Our message will be spread largely by participating local businesses and organizations with supplemental print and broadcast advertisements. Additionally the site will include informational slots regarding governmental and non-profits answers to consumer's questions as well as offering a home to local bloggers and providing an online home for citizens to discuss local issues and interrests in their own words.Specialties: Starting as a street corner salesboy for the local newspaper I eventually worked in supermarkets and drug stores; broadcast newscaster and newspaper editor, lay minister and state senator at a young age with many years in direct sales and marketing venues. I am a good listener and strongly aligned with small business in general.
