Hello There..
It’s nice to meet you.
What would you like to know?
I’ve spent my entire career being an Early Adopter of new media and most of my adventures have focused around how we interact with technology and how it can be used to our advantage.
Over the last few years my wife, Ali de Bold (aka Miss Chickie) and I have bootstrapped the social media website called ChickAdvisor.com. We’ve worked with a number of great people who have made this happen believing in what we can do. ChickAdvisor has gone on to receive great peer recognition that includes advertising relationships with some of Canada’s most recognized media & beauty brands; Alliance Atlantis, Rogers, Maybelline, Garnier to name only a small few.
The irony here is that Ali, my wife, was an employee of my first company ProfessorJones. In 1996 I wrote a business plan to sell textbook to students over the internet (using a VPN to mirror just in time inventory at publishers using EDI because XML and API’s didn’t exist) and use Canada Post as the distribution framework. Ali was hired through a field marketing company to represent my company on the University of Manitoba campus. Seven years later we met in Toronto through a mutual friend and eventually married.
