I see the Internet as the great information equalizer, empowering the little guy to bring his or her voice and vision to a wider audience than ever before. I'm passionate about the hosting industry and its ability to expand small business reach, give voice to the tiny activist group, and organize thousands of people as the world has never seen before.
Of course, to accomplish all of those laudable goals, the technology and platform that all these folks spring from has to be configured correctly, pulled together perfectly, upgraded and patched regularly, and just as a great writer may not know how to bind a book, an Internet visionary may not know or understand the first thing about how to optimize and present their site. I excel at breaking down technology into plain English and helping those small businesses, individuals and organizations come up with a cohesive plan to take the Internet by storm.
