Call me on Clarity.fm

I have 12 years of experience running startups. My expertise is in marketing, sales, leadership, and software development.

I'm an advisor to startups and mentored at the Capital Factory, StartupMonthly, Forward Innovations and the Lean Startup Machine.  I do occasional angel investing but I lean towards advising.

I was founder & CEO of Ghostfire Games, making exercise games for the Nintendo Wii. Our game Rage of the Gladiator won critical acclaim as a top-rated Wii title.  It is now being released on iOS and Android devices (see here).

Prior to this, I was founder & CEO of The Middleware Company, a Java training/consulting company, which I grew over 4 years then sold to Precise Software (see this).

I created the world's largest Java developer community (450,000+ members), TheServerSide.com. I also created TheServerSide Symposium international Java conferences. I wrote Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans, a critically acclaimed book.

In my personal life, I do salsa dancing, rollerblading, perform improv comedy, and have performed fundraising for Make-A-Wish.
