I'm known as "Chicago's Laughter Doctor"

In the mid-1990's - provided text retrieval consulting services to various companies, and started an Addy award winning advertising agency, (trophy).

In the late 1990's - worked for Motorola's Global Strategic Market Group (GMSG) in the CGISS sector. Received a top 1% performance award trophy / & another while at the company. Created the idea of "NFL coaches wearing Motorola radio headsets to leverage scarce marketing dollars" which turned out to be the most successful marketing campaign in Motorola's history. Also had the idea for Motorola to use MP3 songs (and for people to "make their own") in cell phones, instead of using cheezy "ring tones." (Has since been implemented in a variety of Motorola's cell phone lines.) Helped the CGISS sector of Motorola apply for and win, the Malcolm Baldridge award - and compete more effectively and win more deals.

In 2002 - received the GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) designation - one of the highest designations in Real Estate, and in 2005 - the ABR Designation.
