Paul Noia’s Summary
Going back as far as I can remember, I've had a great passion for music & technology. I've studied music and played instruments since age 5. My father was a programmer for his entire professional career and I grew up with a PC.
My first experiences writing code were with Basic. My father bought me a subscription to Antic Magazine which was a publication for Basic programmers; which I did on a 64 Bit Atari 800XL. I spent countless hours learning Basic by hand coding applications provided in the magazine and modifying and tweaking the code until I was able to eventually code from scratch on my own. I love video games, so it was only a matter of time before I was programming games in Basic and compiling the Basic code for faster game play.
Throughout high school and into my early twenties I managed and played in several bands. Programming was put on the back burner for a while, but technology certainly wasn't. My band years is what really helped me hone and fine tune my marketing and sales skills.
After college and a few more bands, it was only natural for me to pursue a career in marketing and sales. The internet became an invaluable resource to me right away. What a great tool to use for prospecting! It gave me an edge over most of my peers because they were still doing things the way they have been taught and were comfortable with.
It was while I was working as an account executive with GBC that I finally came to the realization that I could be very successful leveraging internet technologies to generate revenue streams. That is what ultimately lead me to start my companies.
I have recently been very involved musically again. I now have the tools and skill set to promote, market and sell my music without the backing of a major label. For the past year I have been getting back into the groove working very hard on my musicianship and writing. My goal is to continue on my path of leveraging internet technologies to fulfill my life long dreams.
