I began my journey into Wikipedia during its infancy years ago. I grew up around the internet, having learned to program sometime in the 5th or grade. I started on the Apple IIe, Commodore 64, an IBM 286, an Apple IIc, moving forward into an Apple IIGS, and then into the Windows machines.

I started venturing into entrepreneurship during those days - writing a "point of sale system" to sell fish from my friend's pond. I subsequently started using LISA and variations to explore artificial intelligence.

I co-founded one of the first e-commerce companies to sell heating and air conditioning directly to consumers in 2002. I exited that 9 years later and subsequently co-founded various other companies while advising entrepreneurs, small business owners, and product teams.
