I've been meaning to create an account here for a while. If I had to summarize things about me, I guess they'd include "serial entrepreneur", "early engineer on the Internet", "investor", and "startup mentor."

My hobbies tend to be things that I hope would be marketable skills in the event of the Inevitable Breakdown(tm), like flying airplanes, building radios, and perfumery.

I'm fiercely capitalistic, but I readily admit to have spent some time helping government folks to try new ways of doing things with private sector companies. My hope was largely that they'd get out of the way, but the fact is that sometimes they helped move things along, and it turned out pretty well. I still have a little cognitive dissonance about that, but I'm an empiricist at heart.

    Welcome here Strat! Great to have someone with your background and strengths among us! One of my big reasons for being here is to encourage and catalyze more entrepreneurial initiative and business among us so we can build a truly viable and even prosperous Gulch in the digital age. I hope we'll get more acquainted in short order. Cheers, Brett

    Welcome, Strat. I understand about the cognitive dissonance. I am a dentist who treats some VA patients, and a part of me hates getting that check from the government. Glad you created an account. I look forward to your comments.
