I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1988 with a BS Double in History and Political Science.My first job out of college was for a Lobbyist firm canvassing door to door (yes knocking on doors and asking for money). This was a great sales experience as most told me to go away, yet others were willing to hand over $50 or $100. I call this graduating from “The school of hard knocks.” As my career developed I traded between being an employee at a startup company and working for Fortune 500 companies. With start up companies more my fit, in 1999 started Horse Cents Stables, a thoroughbred racing and breeding business. In 2011 I started Horse Sense Shoes, LLC (HSS) or dba HSS Global. This company is mentioned throughout my book Observation of an Irish Gypsy King, as a vanguard of IoT, today (2020) it holds patents in animal and asset tracking. HSS has granted Intellectual property and invented Bovine Readiness for Estrogen Systems IoT tags and wireless transmission. My most recent start up in 2020 is Irish Gypsy King, LLC . Irish Gypsy King functions as an IoT consulting and Research company dedicated to Agricultural IoT applications. Irish Gypsy King has launched Wonderkow, LLC and Milk Diagnostics, LLC. It is also preparing a third launch in Large Animal IoT applications in 2022. Stay tuned
