For over 15 years I have built a web design and illustration business with my gorgeous wife Amy. We have 6 beautiful children who keep us living each day. Over a year ago, because of unforeseen circumstances I lost complete access to two of my children. I love them dearly and It was not my desire nor intent to lose them. Not wanting this to shape our lives and define our outcome, we have chosen to pick ourselves up and dust off. We are now pushing toward one of the greatest projects aside from our family, that we have ever engaged in. We are deciding our future and this is only one avenue to accomplish this task. Through the years, in addition to our business www.goblackwhite.com, I've been involved extensively with start-up companies and learned diligently from the successes and failures of each one. I am eager to innovate, take risks, and possess a powerful attribute to dream up new concepts with the belief they will alter the flow of events in the Universe. I have been in sales and marketing for over 8 years and have always been a top producer. My diverse skills and abilities enable me to be a strength in many aspects of this project. I have been in positions from Door-to-door Salesman, Regional Sales Manager, as well as Director of Accounts. I am most productive when I am passionate about my purpose and right now I love this project.
