I'm an internet entrepreneur who has built several successful multimillion dollar businesses over the past decade. But I have many other interests that occupy my time.

Most people know that I'm a huge, life-long football fan. I'm a competitive person at heart, and love for the chance to compete. When I was in college I had a job as the equipment coordinator for the gym, and wanted to play football with other students as a way to blow off steam between classes. So I started signing up some teams to play and used the equipment from the gym to play football. Eventually the administration shut us down since it wasn't school sanctioned and we were using their equipment, but they turned around and opened up leagues for students to play which is all I really wanted anyway.

To me, you really learn about a person when playing football against them. It's a huge test of character each and every time they hit the field, and without social conventions there's no way to hide who the person really is.

That drive to compete is what drew me to business. I really enjoy creating a business out of a single idea. It's the perfect fusion of my creativity and competitiveness. The fact that my business deals in technology is just a reflection of the times we live in. But in the last ten years I've gotten very good at staying ahead of the tech curve.

My businesses have also necessitated that I keep an eye on politics, although I keep my competitive spirit in check. I'm not one to choose one animal caricature over the other. My beliefs are too all over the board for that. Instead, like most people, I watch from the sidelines and make clever comments, which is the most anyone can do.

And just when you think that sums me up, I'll call an audible. I'm also a huge music fan. My staff likes to tease me because I enjoy ABBA. I play along, mostly because I really do like them, but I enjoy all types of music.

A person is more than the sums of their parts, but I think this all will give you guys a general idea of the types of articles I plan on contributing to.AlecDifrawi (talk) 19:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
