- About Me:
- Throughout my entire career I have been focused on the pursuit of understanding and enhancing the consumer experience, personalization and growing emerging segments. My work in Chicago has distinguished me from my peers in my innovative and groundbreaking approach to better understanding and reaching untapped markets.
I have a passion and new approach to growing a self-sustaining network and profitable artist community. I am currently on target with completing an MBA in Marketing with a 4.0 GPA by May 2009.
Current projects include a music research project around what makes people buy music online. Additionally, I have started an organization called University Start Up Projects - a consortium of educators, students, and volunteers interested in fueling intellectual property start up initiatives through their schools curriculum. My vision is to have a consortium of many different schools and volunteers participating in these projects. Its sort of like the new deal for schools. I see it as a way to do really cool things at a time when VC resources are all dried up and also give students experience in a hands on practical curriculum.

What's the latest with USUP?
I totally forgot about the recent USUP meeting at Roosevelt University; I'm still interested and would appreciate being kept in the loop.
With your work in Technology and New Media, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
