“Explore the emergence of a relationship economy”

For the last three years I have been consumed with learning the emerging market of social networking. I have studied numerous platforms, features, functions and the markets behavior. My analysis and findings led me to believe that this space has tremendous potential for individuals, companies and entire industries. There is an art and science to social networking that requires constant learning as the market matures. To read more about my discoveries and findings check out my blog.
From 2000 to 2005 I was Chairman of XSVoice, a mobile application company that provided technology for live and on demand audio broadcast to mobile devices. We partnered with Sprint/Nextel and provided services to such media companies as NASCAR, Disney, ESPN, hundreds of internet radio stations, provided Homeland Security Alerts, Comedy broadcast, Horoscopes and a host of other premium mobile content. XSVoice was bought by a public firm in Jan of 2006.
From 1992 to 2000 I was Chairman of a management consulting firm which performed strategic consulting services for numerous firms in a variety of industries globally, many of them Fortune 500 Companies. I am schooled and certified in numerous management disciplines including: Six Sigma, ISO 9000 and 9001, Certified Quality Engineer, Certified Risk Manager, Hoshin Planning and Certified Instructor, Market Research and the Kano Model, SPC and Advanced Statistical Analysis, Group Facilitation, Group Dynamics and Organizational Dynamics from a number of universities and professional organizations and institutes. I have spoken at industry conferences around the world and personally conducted over 100 seminars on a variety of management topics globally. I was blessed an honored to meet W. Edwards Deming and his founding forum members from which I learned more than I ever expected.
During the .com boom I started several web initiatives and sold them while working with some of the best internet starts that are still successful today. Prior to 1992 I've started, owned and sold several other businesses. After all this I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!
All of the endeavors I've been involved with have taught me life long lessons and now social networking technologies enables me to share what I knew and learn what I don't know
