Why are you excited about .CO?
With all the gloom and doom out there about bailouts... unemployment and the economy going bust... I believe the world needs .CO!  .CO is the platform for people to take those dreams, life long plans and big ideas they’ve been carrying around inside their heads -- and to bring them to life!  Forget “finding” your next opportunity in the classified ads or on some online job site -- .CO is about “creating your opportunity!” (So what are you waiting for!?)

What was your Internet “wow” moment?
About 6-7 years ago, I wanted to get my little nephew a special gift, as he was quite sad after his parents had just gotten divorced. I asked a “real-life” Santa Claus to record a personalized video about things “only Santa” could know about him.  It was delivered via email on Christmas morning - and his reaction was just priceless! His jaw dropped open and his eyes grew as wide as saucers as he squealed with excitement over Santa’s message!  In that one instance I realized that the Internet is not about technology – it’s about people ....and relationships ... and COnnecting the right people at the right time ...anywhere in the world...even the North Pole!

What would you be doing if you weren’t working at .CO Internet?  
I would be working around the clock trying to figure out what fantastic new businesses I could start using .CO domains as the platform!  And I would literally be counting the seconds until Landrush on June 21st!

Besides email, how do you spend the majority of your time online?
Researching, reading, checking stuff out, searching, tweeting, connecting, chatting, sharing, learning, learning, and learning some more!
