Back In The Day: Summer of '95.. California.. L.A.. on vacation.. the beach.. clubbin.. having fun.. then I start to hear about this new thing called the internet. I cruise up to UCLA to check out the online computers in the library there. That's when everything changed. Flash forward: January of '96.. Florida.. Miami.. I went to a Borders Books store and picked up a book on HTML programming. Over a couple of months I taught myself how to program code and mess around with Photoshop until I was able to set up my first website. Over the next 2 years, I setup websites for 37 companies until the spring of '98 when I had the idea to program a search engine portal site similar to a popular one at the time. Seven months and 3000+ pages later, I finished programming the search engine. I launched my first internet company and expanded the search engine to include 14 ecommerce sites as well. The search engine would provide advertising traffic to the ecommerce sites while the ecommerce sites would pay for the free search engine. In '99 and '00 the search engine was nominated for several AVN award and in '00, the site won for the Best Links Site Award. (thanks again Jenna!) In '01, I moved to silicon valley, California to setup another internet company with the goal to take it public, but by that time the mood there was all doom and gloom for new internet startups.. thanks to the 'dot com bubble'. I decided to move to Las Vegas to party, travel and have fun for a few years before heading back to silicon valley and launching another internet startup. Which brings me up to the day.
The Day: Web 3.0. I'm developing a business plan for an internet gaming startup to launch later this year. This next venture will be a virtual reality gaming company specializing in 3D immersive and augmented reality gameplay (blah blah). Vegas it seems has been one non-stop party since I've been here. Where else can you sleep all night, wake-up, have breakfast and then go to a late night club at 7 am and party until noon? Only in Vegas baby! Have you noticed that when you leave Sin City, life seems to slow down in other parts of the country? Weird.
The Biz: I'm an entrepreneur and run a couple of internet companies which consists of a search engine, a you tube site and 14 ecommerce sites. I program code and setup databases as well as create graphics and do some animations and videos.
B.B.H.M.$: The 5 letter name of my search engine is visible somewhere on my profile ;)
Rec: Most of the time I listen to trance music - trance, psytrance, goatrance, hardtrance, eurotrance, breakbeat, drum & bass, etc. I also listen to songs from the 80's and some bands like U2, Rush, Radiohead, Coldplay, Sugar Ray, Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode & Iron Maiden. I like massive dance parties, raves, trance dj clubs and after hour clubs. I'm into pc gaming and 3D gaming.. mostly FPSs and RPGs and lots of driving games. I also collect older pc games.. over 1700 so far. I travel a lot. I like living in different cities for short periods of time to see all they have to offer. When I'm not online, I usually go hang out with friends, head out partying at clubs or go mountain biking on some off-road trails. I'm into jeeps, off-roading and dirt biking. Road trips to L.A. clubs and the beaches are cool, or go shoot some pool or hit the gym.
aka Huge: Norwegian & Dutch ethnicity, 6.0', athletic build, brown hair, green eyes. My friends say I'm an easy going, passionate, driven, open to new ideas, resourceful, motivated and energetic sort of person. Life is one big adventure and I try to enjoy the ride, have fun, laugh and have a sense of humour about most things. Hey, we only get one go-around right?

"My extremities pulsating in tingling sensation.."
"Everything around me became suddenly.. unreal"
"As if in a dream.."
"As if in a dream.."
"As if in a dream...."
