In The Beginning

I studied for two years at Centennial Job Corps before attending undergraduate studies at Boise State University, first majoring in Marketing and Economics and later, Computer Science.

The First Viel of Success

I left school when I was recruited by Hewlett Packard before spinning off the start-up Wilder Technologies with two other HP employees.

The Trenches

I took the lessons I learned in the fierce world of software startups and launched EasyAd Marketing Software Corp at 26, where I served as the CEO and managing director. I quickly led EasyAd to profitability and market dominance in under six months, ultimately earning over a 1.6 million dollars in revenue. EasyAd was later dismantled after a lengthy legal battle w/ Craigslist Inc.

The Hat Trick

Later, I founded Mesiab Labs LLC, a software development company focused on Social Media Marketing. We released several ground breaking applications from the beautiful North Shore of Oahu. Mesiab Labs is still happily innovating products for its many thousands of customers. Mesiab Labs is most noted for its Hummingbird for Twitter products and the famous Retweet.com website and subsequent record breaking sale.

The Now

Recently, I've co-founded Jounce, Inc, which closed on its Series A funding round this year.

I am presently serving as the Chariman of the Board and the Chief Technology Officer. Our amazing team of talented developers are hard at work changing performance based marketing at http://jounce.com.

We just opened an office in Sugarhouse, the swankest neighborhood in Salt Lake City, UT.

The Future

I also serve as the Chairman of Modern Business Solutions, a company that's about to bridge the gap between brick and mortar businesses and the power of the Social Web. Keep your eye out for our tell-tale vinyl stickers on your favorite restaurant or store's window.

Ultimately, the future holds limitless possibility. I presently lead three technology companies.

Play

When I'm not starting businesses or developing software, I am reading a book, riding a bike, playing a guitar, the drums or a piano, surfing and or diving, not necessarily in that order.
