LocalsGuide - Founder & CEO

ABOUT ME I am the founder and creator of LocalsGuide. The idea started with out of a curiosity I had which was if you could use a social network to generate newspaper content.The answer has been yes as we are now producing our 24th issue. As things have evolved I am seeing that the opportunity is so much greater than I initially imagined as I am coming to realize that a social network can be used to generate media in general. My specialty is in building online social networks and and community portals. I also have an extensive background in marketing and identity development.

HOBBIES I look at a hobby as something you do when you have so much free time that you just want to keep your self busy. I've never been a person to find myself in this position. I've always found something interesting to do with my time and then committed to it. My Summary: Life is Art!
