About Me

I was born in Washington, PA and have spent most of my life working for myself as an entrepreneur in many different types of businesses. I got myself started in elementary school selling kits of mugs, spoons and stuff. I won the top award for that in the school, a free trip to Disney. At about age 13, I starting mowing yards. By the time I graduated high school I had 33 full time clients. I’ve always loved working on yards and making them look great, but it was hard work with no residual income or income growth.

I went to school for Massage Therapy so I could work for myself and also waited tables at what seems like every restaurant franchise in America. I liked waiting tables cause I could work great hours, pick up more shifts for more money or give away shifts to get time off. I had a lot of time freedom and made great cash and loved it. That was my first taste of controlling my income myself and also my schedule and having time freedom. The few jobs I’ve had, I hated all the drawbacks. I worked for FedEx, UPS, a computer company and others. I am now psychologically unemployable. I love sleeping in, going to the gym, Starbucks and the pool during the daytime on my OWN schedule, whenever I want to. I also like traveling whenever I want to, for as long as I want to.

In my twenties, I discovered Network Marketing through Amway. I never knew I could work for myself, have unlimited income, residual income and work my own hours all without stocking inventory, employees or overhead. I was HOOKED! So I busted my ass for 7 years and made ZERO MONEY. On the other hand however, the experience was priceless and taught me to be confident, read motivational books, listen to great audio training, attend seminars, surround yourself with leadership and that “if it was to be, it was up to me”. The main problem was, I did it the “old school way”. I passed out flyers, business cards and used the “3-foot rule”.

After that, it was Excel Telecommunications, Melaleuca, Gano Excel, United First Financial, Global Verge (Disaster!), iJango (Another disaster!), and now (Thank You Lord!) Visalus Sciences where I founded the Team Visalus Rockstars.

I achieved massive success with UFirst (because I primarily used the Internet to recruit) and helped countless people earn a full time income and leave their jobs. I also won 5 different awards with them and was featured in Success From Home magazine in February 2009 because of my success with them. The networking division of UFirst was recently sold to Market America. I decided I didn’t want to go that route and left. The Money Merge Account is marketed through UFirst still by direct mail only and also through Market America reps. They have also just released Version 5.0 of the Money Merge Account. It is an incredible product that hundreds of new people start on every month to pay all their debt off “the fastest way to a zero balance”.

Within 90 days, I built large teams of just under 1,000 distributors in iJango and in Global Verge after leaving UFirst. Both of those companies were start-ups and neither launched when they were supposed to, and they didn’t deliver on their products as promised so both fell apart quickly after the horrible launches. I’ll never do another start up again. It’s just way too risky and you always put your credibility on the line if things don’t work out. I was also in Vemma just for a few months and flew to Scottsdale to meet the owner BK Boreyko on my own dime. They are an amazing company, and product, but I couldn’t get any interest in the product from anyone.

For the last two years, I have just been doing social media for clients and looking for another amazing opportunity. I have now found that with Visalus.

I am also creating three information products of my own based on my extensive experience in Social Media and Local Marketing:

1) Complete Guide to Business Listings for Local Business- book on Kindle

2) My first Membership Site- Social Media Video Training and

3) Local Business Success Blueprint- A complete video training website with downloads for my complete business plan for clients and those that want to start a social media business

I have a heart for helping others and am super excited about the future. I look forward to speaking with you today! Stay tuned!
