Real World Business Experience
I have 30 years of very diverse business experience covering marketing, sales, branding, licensing, publishing, eSports, gaming, software development, PR, social media, advertising, SEO, SEM, contract electronics manufacturing, start-ups and international business. As a serial entrepreneur, I have started, owned and run businesses in the USA and Europe, as well as doing extensive business in Asia.
AN EXPERIENCE of variety
Currently as CEO of ScreamingBox Digital Product Development, I focus on the running of the business, strategic vision, marketing vision, operational efficiency, business development and growing my large personal network.
Prior to ScreamingBox, I was a primary partner in building the Fatal1ty gaming brand and licensing program; and started and continue to run Rainmaker Web Marketing, a digital marketing company I founded in 2002, whose clients include Gunthy-Ranker, Qualcomm, Goldline, and Tigertext.
I have started or co-founded 12 companies in the last 30 years, in a wide array of industries and market segments. At the core of everything I do in business, is technology. I am most at home working with and learning about new and developing technologies, and incorporating those technologies into business models and processes is what inspires and drives me in business.
