Real Estate Manager, Managing Director
Thomas Inv. Ltd
December 1996 – November 2008 (12 years) Birmingham, United Kingdom
During this period I was a residential property investor and property manager. This was very much a part-time role, and concurrent with my work with Touchdev and Instansa. I bought, renovated and managed properties in Birmingham, England. I managed advertising and viewings. I wrote and negotiated leases. I managed billing and collection. I managed repair and maintenance contractors. I tirelessly overcame challenging and frequent social issues in the neighborhood and calmed the occasional dispute between my residents! I exited this business upon selling my real-estate assets.

Touchdev Limited
March 2004 – January 2007 (2 years 11 months) Birmingham, United Kingdom
I created Touchdev Limited to develop Texas Hold’em and Omaha poker for Windows Mobile devices, such as smart-phones and PDAs. I led the design and build of a fully functional remote client/server poker game. After demonstrating the product a few times, I raised investment from an angel investor. I continued to offer the product to potential partners and investors. I exited this business upon negotiating its sale to a publicly listed US corporation.
