I have been the founder of several different startup companies across a variety of industries yielding me a diverse business and technical background. The industries I have been involved with include; telecommunications, transportation, and the Internet as a few examples. Over 18 years, my career has spanned the business planning, marketing, branding, finances, human resources, and technical aspects of the companies I have owned and worked for. My current skill set would be best utilized as the leader/contributor of a major business unit, working with both the business and technical departments of an Internet based organization.

In 1990, I founded the Dallas Internet based singles/dating and social networking website MatchMaker.com . The site was profitable and self funded (no venture capital) until February 1999. Under my leadership, Matchmaker.com had over 4 million users yielding up to 230 million page views per month and generating over $7 Million per annum . The company was sold to Lycos for $45 Million cash after the Internet bubble/crash of 2000.

Over the course of MatchMaker.com's history, I was the founding President and CEO, the first full-time employee and largest single common shareholder. Under my leadership, media metrics rated us as the 2nd stickiest site on the Internet, and was growing at a rate of 8% or greater per month, making it the largest on-line dating site at that time. In 1995 when I decided to make Matchmaker.com my full time job, I was the only employee. By 1999, I had created a fully functional corporation with 28 full time employees and 11 remote part time employees, generating over $7 Million in annual revenue. By the time we sold to Lycos in July 2000 Matchmaker.com employed 124 people in 8 separate departments. I had to become an expert in a variety of fields in order to grow this company over this very short time-line.


Branding and Media buys: One of my biggest responsibilities as the founder of Matchmaker.com was to create an identifiable brand both on and off line. I accomplished this through a combination of radio, print, and on-line marketing. In 1997 I formed a relationship with Yahoo! and started buying search engine keywords on a CPM basis. I locked down words like "singles", "dating", "personals", etc in the Yahoo! inventory for many years. This was critical for the growth and branding of MatchMaker.com. It drove relevant traffic to MatchMaker.com and kept the #2 Match.com from getting to those interested users. The return on investment was so high with these early search engine buys I expanded this contract 300% in the first 6 months of operations. Since Yahoo! was returning over a 9% click through rate, I also began buying traffic from other portals like Yahoo, InfoSeek, Excite, AOL, Lycos, LookSmart, Goto/Overture, Classifieds2000, Northern Light, Altavista, DoubleClick, CupidsNetwork, American Singles, and Hotbot. As our relationships with the various on-line marketing companies grew, I negotiated some of the first CPA and CPC contracts these organizations ever had. Off line marketing including billboard buys in several cities around the country as well as banners on buses and trains.
