Over the next two decades he handled dozens of events and got to see behind the curtain of the internet and information marketing worlds first-hand. He co-founded Speaker Fulfillment Services in 2002 and wrote his first business book "View from the Back - 101 Tips for Event Promoters Who Want to Dramatically Increase Back-of-the-Room Sales" in 2005. Several other business books followed included bestsellers "Mistakes Authors Make" and "ABCs of Speaking."

He now enjoys retirement from the business world and enjoys spending his time in the children's book world.
