I've been passionate about creating innovative projects since my early teens. I began building websites at age 12 in 1994, teaching myself web development by exploring HTML and source code. My early sites quickly gained popularity, setting the stage for a career marked by unconventional success.
Over the years, I've launched three startups, engineered multiple technology platforms, and invested in various businesses. In my 20s, several of my early projects were acquired by third parties, which inspired me to pursue new ventures in internet marketing and technology. My third startup, ClickSpark, grew rapidly in the online lead generation space and was recognized on Inc. Magazine's “Fastest Growing Companies” list for 3 consecutive years before its acquisition in 2016 by Output Services Group.
This is my journey—a blend of self-taught skills, early experimentation, and a commitment to challenging the status quo.
