| Description: | I have been an Entrepreneur for over 35 years, having started or been involved in the start up of 15 companies, however my passion is cooking and when I mean cooking, I mean for large groups 300-500-1500-3000 people(and yes I opened a restaurant). Probably one of the most life changing experiences I have had was to be invited to New Orleans 2 days after the storm, for 7 straight days I prepared food 3 times a day for the Coast Guard, FBI, Army, Fire Fighters, Rescue Workers and anyone else who stepped into my serving line.
My present Entrepreneurial venture is Showbusiness.com. The parent company is Showbusiness Network Inc. Showbusiness.com is a project that "empowers Music Artist, Celebrity Talent, Industry Professionals and Aspiring Talent through the tools and services Showbusiness.com provides".
The company was an idea that originated 7 years ago and timing and technological advances have enabled the idea to come to fruition.
In addition I advise several other small companies on growth strategy and development.
On a personal note the following are my interests:
My family, I have a beautiful wife and have 5 kids(4 daughters and a son and 4 grandkids). One of my children is severely handicapped, my wife and I take care of her 24/7. In doing this it has you considering your goals and values in ways that you would never have thought of before.
I had the sobering experience of having had total heart failure which also altered what was important to me. I truly enjoy watching others become successful both in life and business. I love to hear stories of struggles that people have taken then what they did to overcome them.
What else. . .um I have 7 dogs and no cats.

Weird that I’d write a blog post about paying for content in a free content world, isn’t...
