I founded my first media company in 2003 which was sold to Giant Realm in 2006. It was a remarkable experience that taught me many lessons about living through and growing a young company. I learned an immense amount during my time at Giant Realm and refined my skills to enable me to succeed at my next venture. My next adventure was PubGears, an advertising revenue optimizer that 100% focused on publishers. We built an effective monetization strategy for publishers using a mix of partnerships and technology. There are lots of companies out there that can be an effective piece to your revenue strategy but it takes some secret sauce to bring it all together. With over 475 networks/exchanges/optimizers in the ecosystem it can be an absolute mess for publishers.Fast forward to 2016 and I'm launching a community platform for soccer fans while also helping a few companies along the way. I have a passion for helping companies grow, especially on the revenue front.
