New Work City is a coworking space and community center for independents. I also contributed to "copartying" as DJ and VJ for company launch parties and events.

As a committee member I wrote a white paper on Metrics and Decision Making for the web and social media. The NMC's Mission is to educate members on the emerging new media sector, provide access to opportunities members might not otherwise have, and provide additional income by reducing costs or increasing income streams. I am also a member of the A2IM Web.

Loud Feed was originally spun off from Object Insight in 2006 to help music distributors, labels and artists manage and monetize their music, video, show ticket info and related metadata using their own branded web site and e-commerce enabled social media widgets. The Loud Feed platform included an integration with Amazon Web Services for storage.

I sold Arbor in 1998 for $3.1 million, after building Arbor on a $30,000 investment. Recruiting over USENET, I built the company from 3 to 30 engineers with a focus on Object Technology from Smalltalk to Java. I insured the success of a multi-year “process monitoring system” project at a coal fired electric power plant for Dayton Power & Light. In 1988.

Founding member, Director and Project Manager for computer consultants worker owned cooperative (a step beyond current experiments in coworking - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking.)
