From the moment I built my first webpage in 1996, I was fascinated by web development. From personal websites, I moved on to fraterntity and sorority websites at school. From there, I was asked by my college to design their website (cob.fsu.edu). After completing that project, I began working for a consulting firm out of Tampa, working on websites like TonyRomas.com and Chicos.com. I graduated from school in 2000 and joined the boating industry.I joined an upstart company, called Boatventures at the time. We had some good times, and we worked hard. Boatventures and the management team there were great, allowing me to grow as a developer, share my ideas and bring my visions for dealer managemnt software to life. After a few years, we were big enough to have a team! We were called Channel Blade at this point, and at our high point I had 7 developers working on projects! Quite a long journey from an upstart company to 70 employees.In April 2008, I left Channel Blade to pursue my own endeavors. I had big dreams but they were all centered around the marine industry I had come to know and love deeply. I worked freelance for Tracker Marine Group, Red Oak Marketing, and others.The last 2.5 years have been a bit of a blur. I've never worked harder or faster or better in my life. I'm at the peak of my game creatively - the second-most important feature of a great system developer. I cotninue to be involved in the marine industry, now holding an equity stake in my very first boat brokerage company and have released a lead management system specifically targeted to boat dealerships, ThreeClix. I manage the incoming and outgoing feeds for Bonnier Corp (UsedBoats.com and YachtBroker.com) and I do a host of other things too.Thanks for reading this far - I felt like putting in a good update this morning!Specialties: Data exchange, standards development, B2B integration, CRM development, lead management, inventory distribution, search engine optimization, website development, online marketing, partnership development, database development, custom programming and xml schema development.
