A little about me...I have an extensive background as a Web Developer (.NET) and in Graphic Design. I also have a background in Education, as I taught Computer Graphics and Programming for Keiser College, ITT Tech and ACCIS.

I have been running a website called Listasaurus.com, the first website to pay people to list their classified and auction ads! We're also one of the first sites to offer Video Classifieds, and Video Auctions. We offer local and nationwide classifieds and auctions, as well as a Business Directory. It's a bit of a craigslist-meets-ebay -meets-youtube-meets-yellowpages hybrid. But the site is more feature-rich than craigs or yellowpages, particularly with the implementation of Video in our listings. And we don't currently charge a fee for auctions, we pay our users to list!

EAT. Sleep? Oh wait, I don't get much of that being that I'm involved in a business startup. So I guess what I do best at the moment is juggle many tasks and wear many hats while trying to get this business off the ground.

But seriously...I am very good at connecting people and inspiring them with their business. My expertise is very technical (as far as websites and the Internet go) but I am also a "people person" and I love to help others become successful.

I need...a 48 hour day so I can do everything I want to do!!

What I really need right now for my website, Listasaurus.com, is to get businesses to place ads in our Business Directory. If anyone out there is serious about placing an ad, I will consider a barter and give you a free ad.

Also looking to put together a sales team to promote our Video Packages to small business owners.

Strange combination--I have a Bachelor's in English (FIU), and a Master's In MIS (Nova Southeastern University)...but the best education I've gotten so far is the School of Life!! The things I've learned as a web developer and with starting up my own business far surpass what I paid to go to college.

Over 10 years in the Technology field, primarily as a Senior Web Developer Consultant. I've worked for companies like Motorola, CIGNA Dental, and most recently, American Express.

Over 4 years of teaching experience, both on campus and online.

I'm also a part-time aerobics instructor (I teach a killer spinning class, look out!!) and have been doing that for over 15 years.
