Past

Born in Petaluma California, farm country, previous Chicken Capital of the World.   Both grandparents had hatcheries. First job at age 13, working on a chicken ranch of course.

Petaluma - Chicken Capital of the World

Flew through UC Berkeley obtaining an EECS undergrad degree.  Elected to bypass engineering job offers and followed his gut into sales with Hewlett Packard, Apollo and Sun Microsystems.  Extensive training in consultative selling.  Exemplary 13 year sales record.

Entrepreneurial Efforts

Founding CEO for TriTeal with two other co-founders.  Lead early business development and strategic planning efforts. Rocket ship ride to IPO, but failed on unstable revenue base and misaligned technology strategy.

Went on to found and serve as CEO for Kablink, the first “Visual Communications” (photo sharing) site on the web.  Perhaps a bit early, perhaps a bit too ambitious of an undertaking.  More strategic planning likely resulting in a simpler vision might have proven magical (aka Facebook).
