Welcome to my home page.
This web site is here mostly to publish pics of my friends, family and
my travels. I'm a webmaster, artist and businessman so links to my works
are here as well. Please feel free to send me comments as I do work
on this site from time to time.
I'm
a typical entrepreneur and capitalist. I own a sign and graphics
shop in South Lake Tahoe, called Dollar Signs and Graphics. Our signs
are all over town and our web sites all over the internet. I've been an
entrepreneur since I was a small child, selling tadpoles and stickers to
my schoolmates in 2nd grade, selling fresh homemade lemonade in 3rd and
running a pet sitting business through middle and high school. I
was the only 12 year old in my neighborhood making $20/hour! I'm
also a real estate tycoon in training and quite the stock investor, I'm
always a step ahead of the rest!
I was born in Montreal on
April 2nd, 1975 and bounced around a bit. I was raised by my grandparents
in Ste-Rosalie for a few years before my dad and step-mom took us over
when I was 8. They raised us in beautiful Ville Mont-Royal for a
few years where I attended the prestigious Brebeuf before moving to the
Boston area January 21st, 1989 where I attended Marblehead High School.
In 1993, I went to Umass Amherst and 4.5 years later, I finally graduated
with a Bachelor In Business Administration (BBA). I immediately
moved to Lake Tahoe to start my career in the computer world. I worked
my way up the ranks at one single company as I ran a large dot com corporation
call Global Reach Inc as VP of Operations It was a great job and
I was able to really turn the company around from losing money and shrinking
to a profitable, efficient and growing organization. I worked my
way up the ranks as Marketing Specialist to Marketing Director and Project
Manager. Global Reach Inc specializes in hosting & networking
services, web design, internet marketing and profiting from many high volume
web sites, many of which were high quality adult membership sites.
I have now left that job to pursue full time entrepreneurship. I
have been doing consulting and internet sales with my side business, WorldWide
Marketing and recently purchased the assets of a sign
shop to pursue creative designs for print, web and business applications.
On my free time, I get to enjoy all the beauty and activities Lake Tahoe
has to offer. Some of my favorites are snowboarding, boating, camping
and taking advantage of the 24 hour party life Tahoe is known for.
I tried to spent as much time as possible traveling when I was in the corporate
world and my last major trip was to Peru. I've taken trips all over
California, Nevada, New England and parts of Europe. My travels are
on hold for awhile though while I get this business off the ground but
I have all my past travels here and I publish these pictures on the
internet for you so I hope you enjoy them! I've been learning Spanish
and I hope to be heading to South America some more in the near future. |
