I am a simple 27 year old kid with a mind that races faster than light. I have ideas that enter my mind, plant a seed and vanish like a bird on the horizon. I guess after it’s planted it’s up to me to water it and let it grow right? We’ll see…
I am simple people. Don’t use the big words around me or I might make you explain! I have more things I want to accomplish in life then there is days to accomplish them. So that means I need to pick the ones I want most and try and go after those right? But what if something new comes along and I want that more? Doesn’t that ruin the whole plan? Hmm…
I have done a lot in my short time on Earth. Things like traveling the world, moving to the city of my dreams, three times, and starting a few companies with good people who believed in my ideas. My first idea came at 18 when I started my own record label. It turned into more of a management company then anything else but oh well. I then became the men’s buyer for a large chain of retail stores in the Northwest by the time I was 20. After that I moved to LA and help an Undisclosed company help with viral market strategies for bands and a process that I helped work on was even highlight in a book in 2009 called “World Wide Rave” by David Meerman Scott.
From there I started a company with a friend of mine and became the smallest skateboard company on the planet to use resin-based glue and to have access to one of, if not the largest manufacturing plant for skateboards in the world in China. I really have done it all from scooping ice cream at 31 flavors to learning how to import goods from a communist country thousands of miles away all while getting the best price possible!
Things I love are the:
* The music industry, more than anything. In fact a musician friend of mine and myself are starting a weekly podcast soon so be looking for that.
* Management of small business. I have been certified by author and consultant Robert Fritz himself in his practices of business management and consulting. I am fascinated by watching a small business grow in to a large one and I want to be a part of it.
*Beer. I just love beer.
