entrepreneurial projects

I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and drive.  There is a thrill about developing something that people need and even want.  My inspiration for this has been my father; serial entrepreneur starting in the 1980's building and selling PC's, various training programs, a technical summer program for kids and STEM training for teachers.

 

I started by helping my father with his businesses when I was only 13 years old.  Since then I started two small businesses and helped my family grow his summer program 10+% YOY increasing his enrollment base from ~800 students to over 2,000 students in 8 weeks.

 

My twin brother and I who have fenced since high school knew there was innovation ripe for the picking in this industry.  In 2002  We mapped out the consumer experience and developed opportunity spaces and a product roadmap.  We chose our first product based on consumer pain, technical selling out on our first day.  We now have a global customer base and the US Olympic Team even adopted our product.
