eCommerce Consultant - Consulting Experience
An eCommerce Consultant since 1998, I specialize in eCommerce Consulting, offering strategic advice and information specific to branding, marketing and selling products on the Internet. An extremely qualified and knowledgeable eCommerce professional, I have experience both as a consultant and as an active participant.

I clearly differentiate myself from 99.9% of eCommerce consultants in that I operated one of the largest and most sophisticated multi-storefront operations on the Internet. In addition to consulting, I am involved in a number of eBusiness interests outside of eCommerce. On a daily basis, I put to work tried as well as untried practices related to conducting business online. The obvious benefit of these efforts to clients is that I consult from first hand experience.
