My Story
I’m a successful entrepreneur (online and off).

I’m also a freelance writer, editor and information product developer. I’ve advised hundreds of entrepreneurs, companies and startup ventures.

A handful of my Internet projects were very successful including search engine development, news aggregation sites, membership websites, an ad agency and e-commerce applications.

I began my Internet adventure in 1994 as an editor and columnist for Yahoo! Unplugged, which became a bestselling book, online resource and interactive CD.

My Yahoo! column and reviews (more than 8500) were featured in Wired, Bloomberg Personal, The Wall Street Journal, Internet World, AOL Channels, CNBC, The Internet Edge, Web Digest, Fast Company and Business 2.0, as well as syndication.

In 1999 I developed the first HTML email newsletter advertorial.

Email advertorials continue to be one of the most powerful marketing tools on the Internet. I generated millions of dollars in sales with them, and helped dozens of publishers do the same thing.

My passion is helping entrepreneurs, publishing and startup ventures grow and succeed. 

My "muse" is identifying great business, investment and financial opportunities, and writing about them.

When I write or talk about business ideas or startup ventures I try to do it in a clear and lighthearted way......focusing on “tipping point” ideas.

There's no reason to boast, in fact I'm an incredibly humble guy. But I've written (and ghost written) several bestselling e-books. 

I’ve also developed profitable e-Letters, information products, search engines, membership sites, subscriber premiums and mobile applications. 

My Kindle/Nook books include The ETF Miracle, How to Beat the System without Going to Jail, Forex Cheat Sheet, The New Google Underground, Shark Tank Tactics, Money Making Monsters and Commodity Traders Edge. 

I continue to write and speak at special engagements, as well as consult companies, entrepreneurs and publishers on rising trends and legitimate business opportunities.

I live and work in Owls Head Maine and Clermont Florida.
