My Bio:

Serial Small Business Entrepreneur:
As of June 2009, I have started or been involved with the launch of 15 businesses from 2003 to Present. I am always looking to invest in entrepreneurship and develop new business ideas either offline, or via my personal blog.

Entrepreneurship Instructor:
Since 2007 I have been teaching, and providing entrepreneurship experiences for teens in the Columbus, OH area. I have worked on teen business programs with such organizations as The Godman Guild Association, Central Community House, and the Columbus Art and Technology Academy. Youth entrepreneurship programs are free for students. Teens have the opportunity to either start a business with a group, or create a personal business plan.

Small Business Start-up Consultant:
In 2006 I began consulting start-up businesses and have a passion for entrepreneurship and developing new small businesses. My work as a start-up consultant led to the creation of the "4-Steps" teaching model that Young University uses today. My specialty is advising, and engaging in business development pre-launch, and assisting existing business owners with developing new approaches to handle issues in their business.

Business Strategist:
In 2007 I began working with existing businesses on utilizing new technology, and adopting innovative vehicles to promote, and grow their businesses. My niche is working with businesses who have been in existence for many years and cemented their daily operations in technology, and strategies that may not be appropriate, or valuable for today's age.

Future Business Goals/LinkedIn Buisness Goals
To increase the reach of Young/Youth university and share our message of community business development outside of Ohio. To connect with like minded individuals and collaborate on entrepreneurship workshops, and development seminars helping small businesses nationwide.

If interested, contact me at any time, I look forward to meeting new people!
