I like to help entrepreneurs build companies.

I like to build companies too.

In its purest sense, entrepreneurship engages everything great about life: intelligence, risk, relationships, passion and fun. Take a dive, you’ll see.

I receive inspiration from many different folks. First, from my family and mentor Bob Tercero. Second, from my friends who never talk back: Peter Drucker, Bill Bowerman, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Ray Kurzweil, Ray Cannon, and many others. And third, from the countless people and companies I work with (thanks everyone). The secret is in how you mix it all together.

I am an entrepreneur and have been since, well, forever. My first company, Newroo, was acquired by FOX Interactive Media when I was 25. It was quite a ride. My brilliant co-founder Dan Gould and I saw it all. Dramatic product shifts (check). Cross country moves (check). Deleting an entire code base (check). Running out of money (check). Yet through each individual experience I learned that entrepreneurship is the greatest adventure one can take. Serious.

Today I work at FOX Interactive Media/MySpace in Santa Monica, CA. Watching MySpace grow has been an a living, breathing case study for me. I marvel each day I get the opportunity to learn about markets, business and people. I am thankful.

As per your amazing start-up, with the right mix of technical/business competence, luck and lunacy fantastic things can happen. I believe a companies DNA is defined within the first 18 months. The essence of company building is locked in the hearts and minds of the founder(s). I like to help entrepreneurs get at the core of this fundamental issue.

If you embrace risk, love building and are truly passionate about your business then email me. Now go for it.
