School and Graduation Year: Bryant University

Entrepreneur/Business Club: Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization

About Me: At the ripe old age of twenty-two, you'd think I'd finally start to act like a "grownup." Hell no. Truth is, the way I live my life now is virtually the same way I did when I was three - coloring outside the lines and drawing my own damn pictures in the margin.

Why do I do things my way? Because I find it pretty hard to imagine what life "inside the lines" must feel like. I enjoy waking up each morning and knowing that no matter what happens, I hold the power to make my day, and my life, exactly what I want it to be. From where I sit, living outside the lines doesn't mean being lazy... it means being more creative, working harder, playing harder, and getting what you want out of life.

Damn the lines. I believe in living life on your own terms, and never, EVER, apologizing for it.

My Business: Web Marketing

My expertise, what I bring to the table: I am an entrepreneur and web marketing expert. Through my company, Mediajitsu Web Marketing For Entrepreneurs, I have been instrumental in making over a million dollars online for clients throughout the United States and Canada in the last year alone.

In addition to my uncanny ability to communicate high-tech concepts to anyone in plain English, I understand and have the ability to implement the combination of tech+marketing necessary to make any idea a reality.

My Goals: From my father and brother, who have taken a fourth-generation family business to ridiculous heights, to my friends, classmates, clients and colleagues, past and present, I am fortunate to have been surrounded and mentored by truly successful businesspeople my entire life. My ultimate goal is to offer this same example to my peers and generations to come.

Short(er) Term Goals:
1. Take Tim Ferriss' self-sustainable business model, as presented in The Four Hour Workweek and apply it within the contexts of a 2 months-or-less development cycle. Document and duplicate this process multiple times.
2. Learn to speak Italian. Relocate to Italy for six months or more. While in Italy, track down the paperwork necessary for dual citizenship. Document this process for others looking to do the same.
3. Spend six months to one year in various Asian locales, studying Buddhist tradition.

My Defining Moment: My first meeting as an executive board member of Collegiate Entrepreneurs in 2005. The enthusiasm and excitement at that table was amazing, and I knew I was "home."

Who I'm looking to meet: Anyone with similar passions, creative ambition, or unique and insightful perspectives to offer. Feel free to send me a message here, or check out my "Get In Touch" section.

Interests: Copywriting, Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle Design, Marketing, Networking, Nightlife, Non-Profit, Reading, Web Usability, Wine, Writing

I should be in bed right now. Apparently, it’s what normal people do when they have bronchitis. Instead, I’m up building nifty things for clients, learning new things, and connecting with some really great people. Someone should tell this silly virus that I’m not normal, anyway.

It’s been nearly two weeks since my last post, where I reflected on my goals for the New Year. In the time since then, I’ve exploded with creativity, formed new ideas, and began to start to follow through on one of my m… Continue

Out with the old, in with the new (year).

2008 was a really interesting year for me. I had the opportunity to experience living in a new city (Boston - which is amazing!), became an Infusionsoft Certified Marketing Automation Coach, built some really cool things, started writing my first book, made some wonderful new friends, and I believe laid the foundation for an amazing 2009. There were some rough spots, such as my niece Corinna undergoing spinal sur… Continue
