We have a saying, "Once a Marine always a Marine…". I no longer wear the uniform, but I still live every day of my life by the code - Honor, Courage & Commitment.

While many Americans were discovering the Internet in the early 90's - I was carrying an M-16 in Far East Asia. Upon completion of my overseas tour I was selected to attend the renowned Department of Defense Computer Science School (home of DARPA & birthplace of the Internet). There I was given a thorough education on Networking & the Internet; taught the way only Marines could teach it.

After graduating first in my class, I was transferred to the US State Department in Quantico, VA and given the most challenging assignment of my career. My mission was to train & support the Marines who guard American Embassies throughout the world. It is those brave men who risk their lives each and everyday. Unknown to most Americans, these best-of-the-best are under attack daily in some of the most hostile & inhospitable places anyone could imagine.

As Platoon Sergeant I held several billets including Instructor and Assistant Information Systems Management Officer. I provided instruction on weapon systems & marksmanship, computer information systems and network security. I helped develop & manage a secure web-based Intranet that connected Detachment Commanders in over 200 countries around the world.

When my duty was finished I left the Corps to peruse higher education. I studied Business & MIS at the University of Vermont where I attained a 3.9 GPA. It was then that Amy Swanson and I co-founded what has now become Internet of New England. We were a web-development firm that relied on "Customer-Centric Strategic Thinking" to analyze and develop Internet based business solutions. Our focus was to create cost effect information systems that enabled small businesses to provide better customer service and find new ways to fulfill customer needs. We have done everything from create complete e-commerce & fulfillment systems to develop online & offline database solutions.

In many cases our systems helped our clients weather the recent recession. We took money-losing sites and turned them into profit centers. We enabled our clients to increase product lines, make large capital investments and (instead of laying people off) higher additional staff to handle the new demand for their products. We have actually had clients tell us they were worried about getting too many orders.

I am a student of Napoleon Hill & Dale Carnegie, a disciple of Mark Joyner and a believer in Alex Mandossian's theory of Abundant Thinking. In January Amy & I joined the Nitro Team and we were indoctrinated to a powerful & refreshing concept know as the "Nitro Marketing System".
