In 1985, I entered the software business as the founder of Timeslips Corp (sold to Sage Plc) after creating the largest network of Certified Consultants in the software industry. After selling my company, I then ran Sage Plc in the US as the COO, with over 300 staff.

Independently wealthy at the age of 42, I wanted to give back to other entrepreneurs. I got involved in the VC community, first as an advisor to startups and then as the CEO of the largest furniture shopping site early in 2000, FurnitureFan.com.

As a CEO Advisor to several companies at the same time, I participated in many different business types, solving many diverse types of problems in sales organizations, marketing, technology, systems and HR.

I later became interested in options trading and mentored with a floor trader at The Chicago Board of Options Exchange.

I made it through the 2008 stock market crash unscathed while helping Chet Holmes build his now-legendary coach and training business.

That lead to a 3-way partnership between myself, Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes.
