My tombstone will read "harsh but fair" – no doubt. I’m a seasoned entrepreneur and a sophisticated marketer. I’ve made thousands of mistakes in being both an entrepreneur and a marketer. Like most people, I try to learn from all my experiences – good, bad and ugly. I cut my teeth in retail – Albertsons and Wal-Mart. I spent eight years in school earning three degrees to find that I was virtually unemployable. Thus, I’m an entrepreneur for life.

I am myself, and noone else. I am a geek. I freely admit it. Of course, there is more to me than that particular label, but it is necessary to first trancend the stereotype before you can penetrate the dual barriers of 'shyness' and 'inability to engage in smalltalk' and finally reach the candy center of my being. If you manage to get that far, you'll find a man who is obsessed with eating things that I did not personally create.

I've made smart and highly useful electronic tools for managing personal finances and selling financial services, developed games, mobile services and location based services and added a profitable service aspect to generic product problems. My best work develops in settings where we try to solve an overall problem, not fix usability problems, so that's how I prefer to approach my work, though I do perform the occasional quick fix. I enjoy working with - and learning from . . .

An insane bundle of contradictions- which vary based upon the situation. A dabbler with a little bit of interest in every possible subject. A perfectionist who will do what needs to be done in the most extensive way possible or not at all. An easily influenced girl with insecurities, dreams, innnocence, and niavete. A realistic, witty, and persistent woman who understands her dislikes and knows what she wants. A student and a teacher.
