This article has a "multiple issues" tag which has been in place since February, 2010. This biography of a living person contains no sources other than the person's website. It would appear that, although this person might be marginally notable, that there is not sufficient interest in writing a fully sourced biography with sources. At this point, it is not even clear if these sources exist. I would like to suggest that this article be considered for deletion, as it does not yet follow our policies concerning BLP. There are two articles in the "news" section. There is nothing in Google scholar and in free images I don't think that this article can currently be sourced properly.
