President
CurrentBusinessVentures.com is a firm through which I acquire, start, own and operate diverse companies across a broad array of industries.In my career I've built, owned, and managed inbound call centers and websites that have collectively taken over a million consumer calls for service and order taking.My current portfolio generates in excess of $50m annually. I am considered an expert at selling on Amazon.I'm an active investor and Director of a high volume VC firm based in Washington, DC, where I am also the Chief Negotiator of the group. I am generally very successful in identifying the needs of both sides of a negotiation, and finding profitable solutions for all parties involved. I recently led the successful negotiation of a $1 Billion biodiesel plant/project that incorporates $320 Million in municipal bonds and a $180 Million private equity investment. 100% of the production for the next ten years has already been pre-sold.Overseas, I have been a consultant for the government of an asian country in the process of building and launching a satellite into geosynchronous orbit. My responsibilities included reporting as high as to the Prime Minister's Office and making recommendations directly to the Prime Minister. I led the effort to draft that country's first national satellite TV policy, which has since been ratified and signed into law. In January 2015, we successfully negotiated and closed the purchase of the country's orbital location from Russia. The team I assembled has since assisted the government in the successful bid tender, and negotiation of a satellite construction project, valued in excess of $300 million US Dollars. The first satellite launched successfully on a SpaceX Block 5 Falcon 9 Rocket on May 11, 2018 from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.In 2014, I was humbled to become an Amazon.com Best Selling Author in the Children's Book Category, for the book I wrote, "Way Up High In The Big Blue Sky."
