My expertise, what I bring to the table

At any given time I'm working on at least two entrepreneurial ideas. With a strong background in web development, most of these endeavors involve creating website. From humor websites to academic help websites, I am always innovating and looking for things that I can improve.

With only two and a half years of college left, I'm working feverishly on different ventures so that when I graduate I can go to my old fashioned grandparents and relatives and present a "legitimate" excuse for not climbing the corporate ladder and getting a job.

My current philosophy is that if you throw enough shit at the fan, some of it will stick. So lets roll up our sleeves and start tossing.

I am still working on getting my feet wet but hope to work on building up my junkyard. I just got a business plan together with a friend I met at the Chicago entrepreneurship conference so things have just begun.
