Created Delivergreen, proprietary technology and financial solution for companies in need of hyperlocal delivery cash based alternatives. This was an “Amazon” style platform that allowed cash based companies to sell products through our mobile app utilizing our financial infrastructure. DG facilitated acquisition of merchant processing outside of the United States, with a base of operations in Malta for corporate structure. Provided mobile app infrastructure for purchase and delivery of products to and from sellers and buyers. Physical transactions happened outside US, and allowed 100% legal sale using Visa or MasterCard. Each merchant was issued a bank account in Malta where funds were settled and accessible to use at their discretion. This solved the issue of needing cash for certain delivery based transactions to use our platform and financial services. DG was interrupted from moving forward as a large-scale solution by the pandemic.

Founder and CEO of BeeYoo.com. BeeYoo was a social video platform focused on monetizing content for individuals with large social followings. See example here: https://vimeo.com/58312449Partnerships with SapientNitro, Universal Digital, and other media entities forced BeeYoo to relocate from South Florida to Los Angeles in 2013. In 2014 I decided to cease operations of BeeYoo, politics surrounding the Hollywood entertainment community and lack of motivation to pursue additional funding needed to operate in that climate were ultimately the reasons BeeYoo does not exist today.
