James Moore’s Summary

I've worked for 8 startup businesses either as the founder or a senior manager (usually in a sales or marketing role).

I love starting a business from scratch and creating something from nothing. Everthing counts in a startup, everything is new and fresh and results are a direct reflection of your effort.

I'm currently President/General Manager of a startup network of independent insurance agents in 3 midwestern states. We're creating something new in the insurance industry and it's taking off like crazy.

I also have several website projects that I'm currently working on as a hobby.
