Below is a partial list of my work and businesses.
My full history of Internet Marketing, being an Entrepreneur, and now as an “AI Artisan” allows me to help others grow and benefit their businesses.
1991 – 2002: WTBTS, NY
During this time, I made a lot of great friends, worked hard, and did a lot of different jobs at a very large organization in Patterson, NY and Brooklyn, NYC. Most of my time was spent doing and coordinating IT Training, Documentation, and Project Management for a large ERP implementation.
2003 – 2014: Hippo Internet Marketing, North Carolina
For over ten years, I owned and operated this agency, which provided comprehensive Internet marketing services to more than 100 clients. Many of our clients stayed with us for many years as we stayed ahead in all aspects of online marketing including SEO, Advertising, social, and more. This included holding countless meetups, training classes, and events, especially in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.

Hippo Inc sold a wide range of products to the hospitality industry, including hotels, condos, etc. Starting in 2005, it consistently sold over $500K of products annually.

However, I also managed all marketing strategy and operations of this e-commerce company with several employees.
