In April 2014, I received a distinguished Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award. Of all the awards I have received in my life, I prize this one is special for it speaks to an attitude and a philosophy.

Although I have never worked with Intuit’s Scott Cook, I admire him and seek his counsel whenever possible.

I have supported the concept of handheld film and video since the start of my career. This is an advertisement placed about me in 1966.

Currently I devote most of my time to a Jay Walker startup–LabTV where I am its executive producer.
Look at the Q&A below for a basic description.

I spend time with my 13-year-old son on his new new game company – Eternal Games – that is creating
server based, multi-player games under Garry’s Mod.

I also support 4 start-ups doing marketing strategy, positioning, and key messaging.

They are:

Harvest Composites – Re-purposing carbon fiber waste creating drone robot parts.
Founded by longtime colleague, Will Duggan

Intelligent Portal Systems – founded by serial entrepreneur (founded 7 companies) Dr. David Russell.

Chiliad – I consult to my long-time friend and colleague, Christine Maxwell, one of the company’s founders.

Mainstreets.com – a Santa Cruz start-up founded by local colleagues creating a system for smaller towns to help small businesses find and motivate their customers.
