BRET WADE (thewadeteam@gmail.com)’s Summary

Ranching is a 100 billion dollar industry that ready for technology infusion.

I operate a company that will increase the profitability of in the untapped Agricultural supply chain using a social networking, E-commerce web-portal.

Who do you know that would be interested in becoming part of my capital team?
*******************************************************************

Encouraging, enthusiastic leader. Inspires others to become involved by contributing to ownership of the vision. Alert and outspoken. Excellent analytical and logical reasoning skills set this individual apart from the crowd. Works best under pressure in a high speed environment. Passion to understand and respond to any given situation rather than judging. Continuously learning new skills and improving.

I am the Chief Operations Officer for ranchwabble.com, Inc. We are developing the first ever social networking site for ranchers and farmers. We are coming up on almost a year of development and learning. My Wife Simone (CEO) and I have been involved in the Agricultural Industry most of our lives. We both grew up around animals and we owned a horse supply store for 4 years before converting that business into the ranch business that we now run on our 160 acre’s in Simla, Colorado.
