Biography (with some advertorial overtones) of a businessperson, not properly sourced as clearing our notability standards for businesspeople: the references here are all primary sources, such as the self-published websites of his own companies and a YouTube video and a legacy.com obituary, with no evidence of media coverage being shown at all. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed -- the notability test is not the things the article says, it's the degree to which the things it says can or cannot be referenced to evidence that media devoted attention to him and his work, such as in newspaper or magazine journalism and/or books.
