Why are you excited about .CO?
I think .CO is a great opportunity for people and businesses to create an online home.  With such a recognizable extension, I think this name space will be the next “boom” on the Internet and we will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary in the very near future.

What was your Internet “wow” moment?
I had been involved with the Internet as a search tool initially to find information and had begun making some “friends” on the Internet through various IM services.  My “wow” moment became the day that I met a good “friend” of mine for the first time in real life after we had been friends online for almost a year.  We are still friends today – and we never met face to face for the first year of knowing each other.  That is the power of the Internet to forge relationships and help bring people together.

What would you be doing if you weren’t working at .CO Internet?
I’d like to say I’d be on the beach sipping a drink with an umbrella =)  However, I would probably be working my socks off at some other endeavor and would not be having as good of a time as I do at .CO Internet.

Besides email, how do you spend the majority of your time online?
Well buying shoes of course.  I must keep my shoe closet stocked!

If you didn’t work at .CO, what would one .CO website be that you would want to launch?
Who says I can’t launch a .CO business on the side?  I think I’ll keep my cool business ideas to myself for now and maybe launch the next great multi-billion dollar business.  You may all be invited to my yacht.  There will be room – I promise.
