​
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 for record companies, mailorder custom men's shirts, a racing bike importer, a direct marketing agency (I did that for a long time), and more.
​
I worked in packaged goods at P&G, a marketing consulting firm and a couple of direct marketing firms, including one as a board member.
​
And I was CEO of an internet startup launched just before the dot-com bust of 2000. And still it made it. It's called NetSuite now.
​
I was direct marketing guru for Intuit at its beginning and again for about a decade, ending in 2013. I also 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.
​
Enough about me. How do you like (or dislike) my book exerpts?
Did I thank you for visiting? I meant to.
