'Take the Initiative', Something that I learned in the service. I worked very hard to get promoted quickly during my time in the U.S. Army. I attended extra training in PLDC (Primary Leadership Development Course), First Aid, Surveying among others. Since then I have always worked hard and been recognized for it. Every job I have had I was promoted continuously.

After I started to produce a decent number of websites the obvious happened. I saw so many similiarities that I utilized a checklist which became the '4 D's - Discover, Design, Develope and Deploy. Get more information on the 4 D's here. Also see 'Clients'

When I started the Flashpoint Design Group, I recognized that the internet was big. I had gone to school for advertising design and could tell how far ahead of the curve I was. I grabbed the bull by the horns and built the studio. I attracted the clients and sold the jobs. When it came to attracting talent, I did. I am able to listen and understand complex issues and quickly gain an understanding of a situation. I am able to clearly relate relevant information and able to delegate authority and motivate a team for common goal.

I have sold and developed projects in the US, Europe and Asia. After all, if your business model allows for growth overseas, the internet will help you take full advantage. This has allowed me to understand the foriegn language 'translation process' of information, content and develop multiple sets of graphics.
