■  In 1982 I was chosen for the BOCES Institute for Gifted & Talented Youth.  In the first Computer Programming class offered by the school I wrote a "Pac-Man" video game simulation for the CBM PET computer and demonstrated how one of the first personal computers was sparking an evolution in technology.

■ From 1984 - 1985 I advanced my programming skills on the Apple ][+ and Commodore 64 personal computers.  On the C-64, the best selling PC of all time, I programmed and operated a full-featured Bulletin Board System.  BBS's preceded the Internet and were the first popular means of telecommunication [Wikipedia: Bulletin Board System].  While other Sysops (System Operators) ran commercially available BBS software, I wrote mine entirely from scratch. Using CBM Basic and 6502 Assembly Language I programmed the code for user accounts, personal e-mail, public message boards, instant messaging, and file sharing routines.  My BBS software offered the same exciting features the Internet does today, more than a decade ahead of its time!

■  In 1985, at the age of 16, I deciphered a high level encryption algorithm in "BobsTerm Pro" - the most popular telecommunications software of its day.

■  In 1988 I began my professional career as Programmer/Analyst for SEC Online™ in Hauppauge, NY - Long Island's first Industrial Center.  This was the first company to distribute U.S. Security and Exchange Commission filings in full-text via electronic means.  For this ground-breaking firm I wrote applications and reports that utilized DBase and Foxpro.  After certifying in one of the earliest ITS (Intensive Training Seminar) classes offered in the North East United States I advanced into the Oracle and Progress 4GL/SQL database languages.  In my second year of employment I conceived and programmed a cost analysis system that calculated discrepancies in bills received from data-entry vendors.  My final report identified over a quarter million dollars in overcharges during a nine month period - shortly thereafter I was promoted to Database Administrator.

Over the next two years I was responsible for designing and managing all database applications for the company's production department.  The Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) I wrote managed and analyzed over 5,000 New York and American Stock Exchange companies and more than 40,000 SEC filings.  Every company on the NYSE and AMSE, as well as over 2,000 NASDAQ companies, were distributed to every major financial network in the World:  Dow Jones & Company, Standard & Poor's, Mead (Lexus/Nexus), Westlaw, and ICC/London.

In addition to managing our in-house databases, I was also responsible for documenting and demonstrating all facets of our product to potential clients and investors abroad, and occasionally traveled to London to consult with Direct Data Resources International - one of our global data-entry vendors.  I held the position of Senior Database Administrator until 1991, when the company was acquired and relocated to Maryland by Disclosure, Inc. - a unit of Primark Corporation (NYSE/PSE: PMK).

■  From 1991 to 1996 I held the position of Senior Programmer/Analyst for the software development firm Weber Systems, Inc., also located in Hauppauge, NY.  With this dynamic company I developed applications on Windows 3.1/95/98 and Mac platforms for a large and diverse client base across the country.  Some of the software I designed and programmed for commercial resale included:  a full-featured Accounting System (Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchase Order, Sales Order, and General Ledger), Point-of-Sale System, Help Desk, Contact Manager, and a real-time Inventory Control System for a national retailer.

In 1995 I pioneered on the Internet with this inventive firm and developed some of the earliest database-driven web server applications - years before Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) platform was conceived.  I was responsible for programming the Database Management System (also known as: Content Management System, Web Content Manager, etc.) for New York University's School of Continuing Education (Course Index) and The Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Physician's Referral Guide.  Both of my original database systems are still online today.


On July 4th 1997 I launched Experienced.com...

By 1997 "The Net" was fast becoming a household name - that's when I realized the exciting opportunities that lay ahead to build database-driven (later coined "dynamic") web sites for businesses, scholastic systems, and organizations.  That summer I launched this .COM consulting group and began development of MyWebManager™  - the most robust, yet affordable, dynamic web site solution available today.

■ In 1997 I attended the Fall Internet World Expo in New York City.  "This is one of Internet World's most popular and intensive workshops," said Alan M. Meckler, chairman and CEO of Mecklermedia. "This two-day workshop will profile case histories, the challenges of creating Internet advertising, and explore the future of advertising on the Web as we enter the 21st century."
 

■  In 2000 I was interviewed by Ken Kurson of Money Magazine, at Esquire Publishing in Manhattan, for the premier publication of "GREEN - The Entrepreneur Issue". Money Magazine, with a circulation of 1.9 million, was the nation's largest financial management publication.  It was part of Time Inc.'s Personal Finance Media Group that also included Money.com, and Mutual Funds magazine.  The purpose of the interview was to inform him how I cultivated a subscription and banner-ad based multi-media web site from scratch, within three months of conception, by soliciting free advertising on Internet chat rooms and cold-calling morning radio shows.  I was cordially invited to their launch party hosted by Simon & Schuster Publishing.

■  In 2003 I spoke at the 2nd Annual Conference for the South Carolina Association of Public Charter Schools.  For this distinguished event, which Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina attended, I held a two day lecture and subsequent focus group on "Dynamic Web Site Design, IT for Charter Schools, and Integrating New Technologies with Older Scholastic Systems".  We also built and launched their fully-functional dynamic web site within a month of the event.

■  In 2005 I attended the Expocomer 24th Annual Trade Exhibition in Panama, Central America.  Many Panamanian and regional businesses in Central, South America and the Caribbean use the trade show to introduce new products to the market, evaluate the competition and use the Colon Free Zone as a bridge to re-export products to the Caribbean, Central America and South America.  Panama is an excellent destination for sourcing goods and materials from around the world and serves as a key alternate supply source for importing products in the event of any interruption of service from our main US or Caribbean shipping ports.  We also built and launched ALLPanama.com - a fully-functional dynamic web site within a month of the event.

■  In 2009 I attended the 11th International Conference on Advanced Materials in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  This symposium focused on Advanced Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Health and Biological Materials, Energy and Environment, Functional and Electronic Materials, Structural Materials, and Theory and Phenomena with regards to Computational Modeling and Data Driven Materials Discovery.  I took part in a series of one-on-one meetings with local companies, aimed at identifying new business opportunities in this emerging market.  This is my third trip to Brazil in the past 18 months aimed at generating valuable new business leads with long-term benefits in the world's largest eco-friendly economy. We are also building a dynamic web site called RiOlympico.com geared towards the 2016 Olympics hosted by Rio - the world's first Olympic Games held in South America.
