My favorite involvement is my opportunity to serve on the board of Unitus , a non-profit targeting poverty alleviation (see http://unitus-microcredit.blogspot.com/ for things related to Unitus). I was one of the co-founders of Unitus. I also serve on the Foundation Board at UVSC, on the board to Center for Economic Self Reliance at BYU, serve as chair of the Lakeridge Junior High School Community Council, as well as leader of our church congregation's young men group.
In 1992, I founded Marketing Ally, an inbound and outbound call center and grew it to 3 centers with over 1200 employees. Marketing Ally was one of the Top 50 largest call centers in the US. I sold it in 2003.
In 1994, I started NorthSky, Inc., which developed the FreeServers.com free website hosting property. In 1999, FreeServers.com became one of the top 50 Media Metrix properties for traffic and was purchased by About.com.
In 2000, I started Bizcradle, a small business incubator, working with Hal Halladay, Ken Sorber, and Glen Mella as partners. Soon after, EsNet Partners became a partner in BizCradle. Bizcradle helped start SenForce, HumanLink, and MeuGrupo - Brazil. I also helped found Global Servers – Brazil.
In 2004, Rich Christiansen and I started Tornado Solutions, an online niche-content publisher. We also reacquired the name NorthSky and have developed FatPickle.com, a search engine tool application for personalized search.
In 2005, Hal Halladay and I launched Know More Media and I am serving as Chief Innovation Officer. Know More Media, is an online publisher of business news, tips and information. Unlike traditional media, KMM publishes continually - as business happens. While our writers are experts in their field of practice, we value and encourage the contribution of the business community.
