At age 14, I became the founder and the publisher of a satire-magazine. We only published a single issue but to this day it’s highly talked about. :) I co-founded my first legit company at age 20 with a college-mate. Our first project almost put us out of business. Our second project literally put us out of business. Fresh out of college, I spent many sleepless nights coding applications in Basic computer language. At that time I thought the telex machine was as cool and exciting of a device as computers. I still kinda think that. For the next twenty years I worked jobs that helped me develop as a management professional and helped me travel the world. Today, I’m a Consultant, an Entrepreneur, and a Co-Founder of Office Divvy and Palm Coast Media Online. Still a World Traveler, and the more I travel the more I realize there is to see. You ask, “so, what are these posts?” They are odds and ends, documenting what otherwise would be just another day. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-4050903-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
