I’m a web professional living in San Francisco, learning how to use social media to help individuals and organizations build strong brands online, connect with their customers, and add value. In addition to my web development and consulting work, I’m involved in a variety of entrepreneurial pursuits of my own, both on the web and out in the real world.

I have been doing development for more than ten years, and I’m proud that I’ve had the opportunity to help a lot of clients succeed online, deliver value to their customers, and build strong brands.  Speaking of strong brand, I blog with some friends about social media and personal branding over at MightyBrand.com.  Check it out.

I served in the US Navy, attended college at University of Colorado, am married, and worked at CNET as an Associate Product Manager (on GameSpot.com) before leaving to pursue consulting and entrepreneurial pursuits full-time.

In addition to the web and technology, I am a huge fan of real estate investing.  I currently have three properties in my real estate portfolio and I’m hoping to start acquiring commercial properties soon.  I believe that the power of real estate as a vehicle for building wealth has been well established throughout history.  If you’d like to read more of my thoughts on investing, financial management, and entrepreneurship, you can check out Bounteo.com, a site I started to help young adults make great decisions in those areas.

I’m married to a beautiful and endlessly fascinating woman who has recently started her own entrepreneurial journey.  We recently had the opportunity to spend 11 weeks traveling throughout Asia and she blogged our adventures here.  Be forewarned, I look like a huge dork in most of those pictures
