Why I am Writing.

Personal connections are important. Coffee is important. When you combine the two, you can end up with a wonderful conversation. A couple of weeks back, I meet with a friend and classmate regarding finding my voice for this blog. So here it is:

I am an entrepreneur, a father of two, a husband of a angel, and man with a learning disability in phonics. My goal is to write a blog about hard work, dedication and achieving dreams. I have learned something in my first 36 years: life can be fun, but success does not come easy.

In 2010, I went back to school for my Executive MBA at Daniels Business School at Denver University and started a company called CloudCenter LLC. I plan on telling the story about how developing CloudCenter intertwined with my business school experience is helping a small business work smarter. This blog will focus on practical steps to engage with customers, develop a brand, listen to the market, and write effectively. Over the last 2 months, I’ve spent hours at night reviewing books and blogs on writing. After all, the simple step of putting thoughts on paper is something that has always concerned or downright frightened me. The only writing I have done well in the past is poetry. I will introduce that later.

I figured out that other people must have the same fear and concern. People must also have insights and thoughts that need to be expressed to the world. I want to inspire one person to learn something new today, start a book, or to finish the letter that haunted them. In this blog, I will chronicle how an experienced telecommunications and IT project manager will transform his skill set and learning into a professional Chief Marketing Officer for a start-up Internet company.
