Describe Yourself:
After 20 years in the tech industry as an entrepreneur, consultant and executive, I got tired of working my ass off following other people's dreams only to end up disappointed, so I decided to follow my own dream of becoming a writer. Now I'm the Entrepreneurs Guide for About.com, one of the top ten websites in the world and a subsidiary of the New York Times. I write a monthly column for FastCompany.com. And my first book, The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals .. was was published in 2005 and I'm working on the next one. So, I'm following my dreams, working at home, making my own hours, and having flexible time to spend with my family.
