As a seasoned business owner, serial entrepreneur, and an accomplished internet marketing professional for the past 20+ years, I have dedicated my professional life to the business of business. My first entrepreneurial experience began at the age of 10 when I began my first newspaper paper route – delivering door-to-door on my bicycle with a dog named Butchy running by my side. Within 6 months I had more than doubled the number of subscribers on my route by grinding out door-to-door cold selling. It was my first experience in sales. I maintained that daily morning paper route for nearly 6 years, earning enough money to buy my first car and putting additional money aside for college.As an adult, I have launched and directed five companies in the last 20 years - all relating to some form of web-based services (design, development, marketing, back-end data systems, etc). Titles aside, this means I have done everything from participating in board meetings to overseeing construction on new facilities to setting-up work stations for our employees. As every business owner knows, life “at-the-top” is not always glamorous … but it is business, and I love it. Three of the previously mentioned companies continue to operate at a profit. One was closed due to modest losses after 3 years and one was merged with one of my other ventures to consolidate costs and management issues after approximately 15 years in operation.In recent years, I have been conducting seminars and webinars for business leaders and marketing specialists from all over the country. Having consulted with literally thousands of business owners from just about every imaginable industry, it is my vast experience that I consider to be my greatest asset.
