Seasoned Internet Entrepreneur
Shares Secrets!

I have worked professionally in the Internet industry since 1989, before the age of blogs or Flash or even graphical web browsers. Today I divide my time between my work with the interactive agency, Aquent Studios and my consulting and public speaking engagements. I am a dynamic and fun speaker, using photos and multimedia to tell stories from direct experience. My presentations are entertaining, but also leave the audience with concrete and practical knowledge.

I have spoken on a variety of topics and most often customize talks to fit particular audiences. Presentations have been given to the Washington Ports Association, the Streaming Media West conference, The Alliance of Technology and Women, the OneNW environmental non-profit as well as to a variety of corporations such as Adobe Systems, Microsoft and T-Mobile.

Topics have included:

• Digital Marketing
• Kids and Digital Entertainment
• The History of Online Video
• Web Design for Business Owners
• Digital Entrepreneurs
• Digital Content Creation
• Client Vendor Relations
• When Good Projects Go Bad
• How I Survived the Dot Com Bust

Attendees who come to learn discover that they have been entertained. Attendees who come to be entertained are surprised at how much they have learned.

Using photos, sounds and motion media, I tell vivid, behind-the-scenes stories with practical relevance. I step through a presentation, creating a fun and informative environment. I often stay for hours after a talk, answering questions and sharing resources and tips.
