Apart from working in this industry I have spent most of my career as a industrial maintenance mechanic. I am a veteran of the US Navy. I have my invitation to join AARP to give you an idea of my age. I have a decent sense of humor, I'd like to think. I do not have a practical education in business, although I have through work experiences and many times through career educational courses gained an understanding of business principals. I am a quick learner. I am New York born and Massachusetts raised. I am eager to learn whatever I can from everyone involved with Startups.com.
