Over the years my career had been in corporate america. I started out with a company at the bottom of the so-called ladder and progressed my way up the management ladder. Starting in the mail room as a mail sorter for the corporation I worked for several years and I made slow but steady advances in management positions. 

For the first 15 years it seemed like no one was taking notice of my talents especially with the guy that hired me. Things changed when he retired and we got a new CEO. By that time I had gotten to a supervisory job running the mail department. 

To make a long story short, he called me in to do a performance evaluation and we got to talking. He asked me what I would like to accomplish while I worked for this company. I told him I wanted the Senior Operations Manager's job when he retired which would be in about 6 months. That's exactly what happened and I got the position.

I held that job for 12 years and my company offered an early retirement for those at the age of 50. I took the opportunity and retired. Since my retirement, I have been involved with business consulting and have enjoyed every minute of my early retirement. I got involved with helping local businesses get exposure on places like Google, Yahoo and the other search engines. 

In fact, I created my own company to help local business. I am currently a video marketing consultant to many companies in my state and a few outside my resident state who are looking to increase their business through internet marketing. I created Video Creations just to help local businesses who wanted to increase their online presence who were looking to build their businesses.

As a hobby, I got involved by accident with online gaming. In particular, World of Warcraft. My grandson got me hooked on it when I was at his house for one of the holidays. When I'm not busy with my business clients, I'm playing World of Warcraft...
