Mill Valley, California, United States

One of my long standing goals was to open an Extreme Pizza franchise close to my home in southern Marin. I was Extreme Pizza’s first IT department, helping their first stores in San Francisco with anything IT related, swapping work for equity. As Extreme grew, I remained close to the company helping them throughout their growth. I have always loved the product, and wanted to be able to pick up the phone and order delivery for my kids. Identified a location in Mill Valley that was able to open a store in a city that does not allow franchises. In an opening called “the best we’ve seen to date” by Extreme Corporate, grew sales in the first quarter to breakeven and established profitability in the first year. The location required a code update remodel which I oversaw while still operating the location. Once remodel was complete, I sold the franchise to a new operator, as the goal was to open, and establish, not long term operate.

An experience second to none in social networking, regardless of age. The platform had a devoted audience steady user growth. Sadly, all was gated by US laws requiring identity verification with payment. This inhibited our viral growth and FB won.Implemented an agile development process utilizing scrum and sprints. Top engineers have appreciated my clarity in feature requirements, help in clarifying user wants and requests vs. time to ship with minimal feature creep.Everloop web app and mobile apps were retired, platform and apps were licensed by various companies for B2C/B2B web & mobile applications.
