Not a digital native
When I set out on this course in 2007, I had little understanding of the Internet and NO knowledge of how to build a website. I didn't even understand the difference between a domain and hosting. Yeh, born in 1966, I'm no digital native.
I just knew I had to figure it out.
Trial and Error
Trial and error, in concert with my diverse professional background, has given me tremendous insight. I have been openly experimenting with SaaS, PaaS, Social Community Platforms, and Social Media since early 2007. I'm fascinated by the sociological implications of an online, always connected lifestyle as wells as the tools and platforms that facilitate it. The R&D in me loves to put different tools and platforms together to creatively solve problems.
Ten Years Later
Ten years later, and many projects assembled and disassembled, Tonic Ventures was born to house the most current iteration of myself and all future projects. Tonic Ventures' main revenue source,
the TONIC zone, is a paid access community where I translate 10 years of Digital DIY experience into consumable knowledge and guidance designed to
help you elevate your Digital Literacy and embrace digital horsepower.
