I have been working in the trenches with startup businesses for the last 8 years, and I've learned a thing or three about how they become successful ... and more importantly, how they can fail.

I have a business degree in marketing and administration from University of Missouri, so I understand the educational aspects of business and how they differ from their real-world counter parts.

I have been developing custom software and web applications all over the world for the past 10 years. I am a self-taught developer, fluent in many programming languages.
