WORK:
Co-founder of ReveNews.com, one of the oldest and top ranked collaborative efforts on online revenue generation. In 2006, RN received a prestigious Marketing Sherpa Blogging Award. In 2007 received a Webby Honoree Award for Business Blog.
Prior to the acquisition by Facetime in 2005, I served as CEO and co-founder of Xblock Systems. We developed two patent pending systems using an automated “codeless” system.
In 2004, I served as an expert panelist at the FTC Spyware Workshop to address the growing problem of spyware and rogue distribution practices. In 2003, I organized and chaired the New York Performance Marketing Summit at the Yale Club to open up dialog that helped the industry produce a nascent Code of Conduct.
FILM:
I provided funding and assisted as a creative consultant for the award winning film, Nothing So Strange (2002). The film, a documentary examining the December 2nd, 1999 assassination of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates in Los Angeles, and the group of key players seeking to unravel the mystery of his alleged assassin as well as the circumstances surrounding his death, received the New York Times Claiborne Pell Award for Original Vision. It was also the first film embracing the “open source” concept.
I served as the Consulting Producer on the drama/humor film Williamsburg (2006). Williamsburg is a voyeuristic picture about seven ‘artists’ living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and their comical, usually absurd, intertwining lives. Based on the screenplay by Brad Saville. Williamsburg was selected as Winner Best Noir at the New York International Film and Video Festival.
SPECIALTIES:
Adware/spyware analysis, online fraud analysis, security concepts, management of performance based revenue systems and deal structures, versed in SEO, SMO & SEM, tactical and strategic blogging. Documented history of conducting interviews on key events in e-commerce. I am able to blend cross-discipline knowledge.

Children typically master the "false belief test" at age 4 or 5. It tests their ability to realise that the beliefs of others can differ from their own, and from reality.
