Blog Tag! 5 Things You May or May Not Know About Me

Seems this blog tag thing has gotten pretty darn popular recently. Dan Rua over at Inflexion Partners tagged me earlier. Here we goooo:

1. The University of Miami Hurricanes are my pride and joy. I actually originally began my studies at Boston College, but transferred to Miami my sophomore year. I also spent a summer semester studying terrorism at Harvard, post 9/11.
2. I used to train aggressively for bodybuilding, and at one point powerlifting. I haven’t been as serious in quite a while, but I still workout 5 days a week for about 2 hours. A Balance of Body and Mind are key.
3. I got my first taste of development and love for the web in an odd way at 10 years old. I was into the Warez scene in the early days of AOL. I created one of the first punters/bots for AOL 4.0. From then on, I’ve been trying to do cool things with the web. So thank you Steve Case.
4. Frank and I met through my first startup, where Frank was in business development. Almost 2 years later and we’re still kickin ass together.
5. My niece and nephew have a fatal form of Muscular Dystrophy called Pompe’s Disease. They’re one of my biggest inspirations in life. For such young kids, they are the strongest fighters I know. Oh, and Megan has quite the personality. She doesn’t take crap from anyone!

Ahh, so who do I tag. Noah Kagan at OkDork, Alex De Cavarallaho at Tapio, Brian Solis at FutureWorks PR, Brian Breslin at Infinimedia, and Leonard at theGorb.com (Notice I tried to keep it mostly Miami themed).
