What’s up?

Well, this part of my web site is supposed to be about who I am..

So, I guess I’ll tell you a little bit about me.

I was born in a small town in upstate NY. I’m the youngest of 3 sons and grew up always hanging out with my brothers. Hanging out at their sporting events, dribbling a basketball around, a soccer ball or juggling.

When I was younger I had the dream to play professional basketball and would practice day and night, dribbling a ball around and shooting hoops as much as I could. Throughout high school I played soccer, basketball and golf although I ran track in 9th grade, I hate running without a ball to chase so went back to golfing.Needless to say, I’m not a professional basketball player.

After high school, I went to the University at Albany as a freshman. hehe, Albany was a LOT of fun. But, I didn’t get the type of work done that I should have gotten done….first year being “free” and I kind of took advantage of it too much.

After Albany, I went to Broome Community College in Binghamton, NY for a year and a half, switching my major from Chemistry ( was thinking about being a Chiropractor) to business administration. I got through BCC and graduated with an Associates Degree in Business Administration. In Binghamton, when I was living in an apartment by myself, I decided to get into “making money from home” and bought into paid surveys, mailing out envelopes, cash gifting, affiliate marketing, and dabbled in Network Marketing. I spent a lot of time and money doing these events and didn’t really see “the big picture” of it all. Not really understanding how to succeed in a business, I spent time switching and switching and switching, never keeping focused on ONE thing.

Needless to say, I wasn’t very successful. Well, I do consider that a success though, I learned from my experiences.

So where am I now?

I decided to continue my education at Buffalo State College in Buffalo, NY.

Right now I am living in an apartment on campus and taking classes full-time. On the side,  I help offline businesses use Social Media Marketing and other Internet Marketing to build up their business online. I also am building up an information marketing business teaching people to juggle at Juggling Secrets

A little about my experience: AKA How I Can Help YOU

-I’ve been a student and teacher of Social Media Marketing for 2 years now and absolutely love the opportunities to build businesses and relationships through this type of marketing. I also have experience with video marketing and using blogs to build businesses and use these as “tools” in my arsenal. On my blog here I will share valuable marketing lessons by making them interesting for you and FUN. Too many people make marketing boring, and that’s no fun. I’m here to make it FUN for you ;-)

I include you in my personal experiences and lessons that I’ve learned from these as well.

What am I striving to accomplish?

-World Traveler
-Coach
-Leader
-Golfer
-Connector

-Ability to design my BUSINESS around my LIFE. Not the other way around.

I am a student of life and will always be.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

  • I like the idea of designing your business around your life not the other way around. I would like to see more juggling videos please.
  • I'll upload some more juggling videos this summer and when I get out to california :)
  • Hi Chris, you're doing a great job at a young age. We're gonna have to connect on a deeper level and truly "mastermind" sometime. Hit me up on skype at the1cbiz and we'll make sure you're invited to the New TSA Skype Mastermind Group. ;-) BTW: Awesome Blog Layout ... I like the header. It looks like a kid did it, but still, its unique and that's what is most important. I also enjoyed reading about you here. Crap, Makes me 2nd guess my own bio ;-) hehe
  • Thanks Curt! I'll be sure to add you to my skype account and we'll definitely need to mastermind soon :)

    haha I made the header because I needed something a little different...i've got a graphic designer re-designing one in a more professional manner and will be updating the layout of everything on the blog to make it more professional in the coming weeks. (It's part of my summer projects )

    as for my bio, i'll probably be updating it as I go along because it seems like everyday my life changes and it's ever evolving so I'll need to keep updating it :) Chat soon!
  • Chris, I enjoyed learning a little about you here. Looks to me like you got your eye on the ball, being a permanent student of life, sharing your knowledge and experiences, catching the wind in your sails, and having fun. I'm catching your enthusiasm and look forward to learning more from you.
