FULL BIO
Co-Founder of Social Gears, a capable, high-quality social application development company. Social Gears is a new service from Network Earth, Inc., an established, accomplished 12 year old Web technology company. With a Fortune 100 company and many very large institutions as clients, your social projects are in VERY safe hands.
Co-founder of Network Earth, Inc., founded in 1995. I'm responsible for all strategic and technical direction including the creative energy behind some of our own products as well as adding significant value to our client projects.
Our current development projects include a social networking application centered on the beauty industry - www.salons.com. We have another social networking app. on the drawing board. We have also started looking into Facebook applications.
Another successful venture is AgencyLogic PowerSites (www.agencylogic.com). PowerSites are single property Websites that are 100% dedicated to one listing e.g. www.123AnySt.com. Realtors/Real Estate professionals use them to help win the listing and to market the property. They are free to try and inexpensive to publish.
In addition to founding Network Earth, I also co-founded and was a board member of ParentWatch, Inc. (now Arrowsight, Inc.), a secure remote video solution for the childcare industry. My contributions included initial concept, research and development for video delivery and back-end administration systems as well as overall company management.
