ABOUT ME

10 Cool Facts:

1. Currently writing a Dummies book about social media.
2. Quit my job, worked unpaid for several months and slept on an old college couch between a mini fridge full of stale Miller Lite and a ping pong table to earn a job as a GM for a fast casual restaurant concept.
3. Son of a retired English teacher and Chief Technology Officer (CTO). As a consultant, I teach businesses how to leverage technology. Teaching + Technology = Strange coincidence, right?
4. Helped develop a tech start-up that coined Pay-Per-Conversation technology (which bridges consumers and local businesses in real time based on market driven prices).
5. Studied abroad in Grenoble, France, for a winter semester.
6. Have traveled to 38 states and nine countries thus far.
7. Have coached high school lacrosse for three different programs throughout the Carolinas.
8. Coached and/or played for men's lacrosse teams that appeared in National Championships in NCAA division II, III and the NCLL.
9. Attended Salisbury University (part of the University of Maryland school system) and received a bachelors of science in Economics and Management and an MBA.
10. Owned and operated the first ever pedicab (bike taxi) business in a beach town near my college, Ocean City, MD.

PHILOSOPHY

To continually improve myself spiritually, mentally, financially, physically and emotionally every single day. Also, to have a darn good time while I'm at it!
