M3 Sweatt’s Summary

I enjoy the relationships and friendships I've made throughout my career, first as an entrepreneur and later with established companies. For the last few years I've been at Microsoft, where I work with our product groups to focus on customer and partner satisfaction.

Over the last 20 years (just about), I have been involved primarily with entertainment and technology-related companies, and have served in many capacities at different levels, from line to senior management. I've raised financing and secured sales, grown and refocused businesses, and enjoy the excitement of trying new things and finding the relationships between seemingly disparate things.

After the primary importance of my family (wife, two boys, and extended) and personal development, I believe strongly in personal relationships, the benefits of mentoring, and love to help grow people and companies.

And yes, on the name... it's really my name. Truly you didn't think that I would make up such a thing, did you?
