I'm a marketing guy. I started lots of companies, failed a lot, succeeded too. I started a candy store, rock bands, a custom t-shirt company, mailorder custom men's shirts, a racing bike importer, a direct marketing agency, and more.

​​

I worked in CPG, at a marketing consulting firm and a couple of direct marketing firms, including one as a board member.

​​

I was CEO of an internet startup launched just before the dot.com bust of 2000. And still it made it. It's called Oracle NetSuite now.

​

I was direct marketing guru for Intuit at its beginning and again for about a decade, ending in 2013. I wrote the first big mailings for Fisher Investments and recently worked full time for the company. 

​​

I went to Oberlin College, where I was the only one in the official rock band who couldn't read music. After, I went to Harvard Business School.

​​

Did I thank you for visiting? I meant to. 

​

                      THANKS!
