• Non-MLM Related Work Experience:

PC Time, Inc.
San Francisco, CA (1985-1991).
Owner and CEO.
Computer time rental and training facility.
Founded the first hourly computer rental facility in San Francisco with only $25,000 in seed capital.
Launched the company one month early and 16% under budget. The company was profitable by its
sixth month and remained so until I sold my ownership share in August of 1991.

Dynamite Promotions, Inc.

Novato, CA (1979-1982).
Owner and CEO.
Marketing and Promotions company.
Provided marketing & promotion solutions to local businesses involving barter arrangements.
Founded and organized annual "Super Roll" soapbox derby races where participants were
sponsored by local businesses in exchange for various promotional considerations. I also
introduced the concept of having Oakland based Wonder Bread donate bread wrappers to the San
Francisco Chronicle for their carriers to use on rainy days (extensive, focused and inexpensive
advertising for the bread company, and free wrappers for the newspaper). This symbiotic
relationship still exists to this day, and is now practiced by several Bay Area newspapers.
