Chief Evangelist at PRWeb
February 2004 - September 2006An advisor to PRWeb and David McInnis, the CEO and founder. I am a client and ardent user of PRWeb. Started using it in 1998, then again from 2002 to current. I spent my time working to increase the market visibility of the platform, and shared techniques on how to optimize online PR and Online Media. Stupidly, I turned down an offer to join the executive team in 2004. My commitment to ThoughtOffice was etched in stone... During that time, and because of David, Al Castle and team's commitment and understanding of all things social media and syndication, PRWeb became the leader in online PR.

January 2000 - October 2000I worked with a handful of technologists, web developers and Angel Investors/VC's to accelerate (mostly internet) startups during the end of the first dot-com boom. When I arrived in my office, there were more than 500 business plans piled up, awaiting review. Throughout the next 9 months, we worked diligently to create an intelligent, wired workspace for startups; provide VC and Angel investor introductions,; review business plans and counsel startup companies, and engage sponsors for various projects to support the Southern California internet and technology space. From co-crafting the business plans, coaching CEO's and doing investor introductions, I handled every aspect of the TechCoast program.
