About Me

Brief bio: I was born and grew up in New Jersey; then graduated from American University in Washington, DC; subsequently worked in New York during the dotcom boom and finally moved to Richmond, VA in 2003.

I'm a marketing nerd who builds websites to exploit tight market niches. I've worked in web software development and market research; currently I operate several dozen affiliate marketing micro-sites and run the pay-per-click and analytics practices of a local Richmond ad firm.
