President, Hardlines Company
Bellingham, Washington Area
I've actively worked in the Technology industry since 1996 - and have worked in and started several technology related firms since. I'm passionate about business and technology and I can both sell and deeply understand technology - which I find is an unusual combination.
I am now working at taking my past experience with technology and technology vendors to provide Video Services to the Technology Industry. It's exciting to have another startup in my life!
Event Video Services including Video Blogging, Video Testimonials, and Live Webcasting. Additionally we provide Event Technology Services including design and implementation of wireless LAN's (private and public facing) as well as complete IT Support for Event Staff from the WAN to end user support.
