Mark is a badass.

I grew up in Chippewa Falls, WI and was lucky enough to have access in high school to a computer lab funded by Cray Research, where we built a Hero Robot and programmed on Motorola 6800 Micro-controllers using low level programming.

My first career out of college (University of Wisconsin) was as a management consultant for both Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting.  Good times.

After almost 5 years at Andersen, I decided to consult on my own and provided manufacturing consulting to firms including 3M, Harley-Davidson, and GE Health Care.  Those were the biggies, there were other, smaller companies too.

During the tech bubble of the late 90′s.  I teamed up with Jon Larkowski to build small e-commerce sites and eventually became a consultant for the State of Wisconsin.

Jon and I would eventually launch InboxFox.com along with Mark McEahern.  Mark and I also created ForeclosureAlarm.com while Jon went on to join Hashrocket in Jax Beach, FLA.

My newest startup is Imby. Imby is an experiment in hyper-local real-time professional networking – as opposed to LinkedIn, which is more of an asynchronous global networking platform (and also quite crappy).  Imby is a big swing with a low probability of success, but a potentially big win.  It depends on network effects, and thus there is a chicken/egg problem to be worked through.

I’m also the head of software development for Murfie.com, a new take on online music.
