If you’re putting a stage together and you want a speaker who has actually built – not just talked about building – perhaps we need to talk.

A little bit about me
I have been an entrepreneur all my life, starting my first enterprise while in college. I treat each enterprise as an adventure and an experiment, and over the years I have had the pleasure of starting and profiting from 17 small to mid-sized businesses. From a dairy farm to a hosting business, I now blog as a business.
I treat the blog as the primary method of building a community. I am fortunate to serve a community of like-minded people who want to do meaningful work and live a life of adventure.
