CEO & Founder at Goboz.com
Portland, Oregon Area
I believe that any person who has the insight and knowledge needed to succeed can do so. I am now taking all of my experience and putting it into two great companies. goboz.com and theportlander.com . These two companies will not only push me further than I have gone before but they will also help me expand my skill set as well. When I look out at the .dom world around me I see an industry starting to mature and needing some direction to grow just as I am . If I fail I will get back up and see what I did wrong and what I did right and from this I will start anew.

Goboz.com was inspired by the voting concept on web sites like Digg. A small team of developers from various locations around the world began with open source software but quickly built a highly customized, one of a kind site. Goboz uses a voting system to rank businesses and news stories. Users are encouraged to click to vote, and only 1 vote per IP address is allowed. Goboz.com also encourages users to submit businesses or news stories that are not already on the site. These features make Goboz.com a true Hyperlocal website and represents the next generation of user experience, separating itself from industry leaders
