(Writing and Editing industry)

August 1984 — April 2006 (21 years 9 months)

From 1984-1992, my primary focus was consulting to small businesses, setting up their accounting applications. While helping run several of the Ziff-Davis forums on CompuServe and PC MagNet in the late 80s, several editors hired me to write reviews of small-business accounting software. That turned into feature articles about financial technology, and the end of my consulting career. I've switched my company name and business activities to InvestorBrain.

Keeper of the corporate crystal ball. Duties included ongoing analysis of the industry, company performance, and price elasticity of demand. My responsibilities encompassed forecasting everything from grape acreage 25 years out to the number of cases of 375ml vermouth to bottle next week. I pestered the IT people until they gave me my own PC.

When RJ Reynolds took over our parent company, eventually killing it off, it was time to turn those PC skills into a new business.
