2005 - Present
Convinced I'd be around awhile, began development of 37212 Entertainment, also launched TECHNOEVO .. "Technological Evolution", developing technical support and solutions for a developing technological community. To broaden my portfolio, I launched ENVY Design/Build .. design and building with "Green" Concepts. April 2002 - 2005 Moved back to Colorado early 2002, began to reestablish my professional direction.
Sold 37212 and took year off, moved back to Colorado. August, 1992 - April, 2001 Built 37212, Inc. one of the first Internet companies and guided its growth and profitability through sometimes-turbulent times. As owner and President I hired, trained, lead and assured quality control and profitability for approximately 100 employees over that period. Through a browser based, "Cold Fusion" Job Tracking/Cost Control/Bonus system, we were able to control costs, on-time delivery and employee efficiency. We provided on-site hosting, connectivity and Website development for an esteemed list of clients including: Capitol Records - Dynamic Website utilizing Cold Fusion, Flash, Java, Real Audio and MP3 digital distribution. Developed a download system that eliminated overnight delivery of music and Artist graphics saving client nearly $100,000.00 annually. Instituted a system of useful data collection and a system that analyzed that input to make it meaningful to Client's marketing. Universal Music / Mercury Records / MCA Records - Hosted on our Sun servers, nearly 50 domains including several major Artists for client.

Also, provided a 3D walkthrough of several boat designs. Virgin Records - Similar to Capitol Records with the addition of "V-Man", an animated mascot to the comic book styled site. WOTR.net - Designed and developed four Internet radio stations that were unique (at that time … 1996-1999) in that they provided visual information about the Artist, label and album while the track was playing.

We were the second client to utilize Yellow Freight's online shipping calculator based on weight, distance and item class to provide shipping cost.
