Jay Bowser is always working on something big. Whether he's constructing a new hive for businesses-to-bee, or scoping out a new patch of sweet-smellin' web and mobile prospects to turn into golden honey, Jay's always on the move.
Like a bee, Jay doesn't do a lot of sleeping. He's always drawn to where the buzz is. Like a bee he takes on massive challenges with fervor. And, like a bee, Jay usually roves with a pack of equally driven and resourceful buzzmeisters in tow.
by the prospect of honey Jay is expert at helping fledgling ideas and concepts bloom. Jay leaves no flowerbed unturned. He knows that if you want to make the sweetest honey, you have to go where the flowers are. Sometimes it means planting the flowers on your own.
Like a bee, Jay has the skills to cultivate flowers from mere seedling concepts or turn around a dying patch. He's spent a lot of time growing his own flowerbeds having done many of his own succesful startups. He's also proven to be excellent at helping other hives get their honey a' pumpin.
Having done some pretty impressive things, Jay's got proven experience building new hives from scratch, recruiting the best bees, identifying the right flowers with the most yield and, of course, producing a ton of honey.

Managing a team of designers, writers, editors and programmers (not unlike what a TV producer does for channel programming) my department took a significant portion of marketing, communications and CRM online and achieve material customer service efficiencies with measurable cost-savings. My specific experience in tech startup enabled my department to lead a company-wide charge that worked out-of-the-box to take most traditional marketing online to reach customers, enjoy unique operational efficiencies, and absolutely crush success measures set by executive management.
In 1998 I started a software company based on a concept I conceived while working with video. It turned into a prosumer three-dimensional imaging software and product line used by Sony, Ford Motor Company, AutoZone, NewBalance, Comedy Central's BattleBots, TV reality show "Shipmates," and eBay sellers worldwide.
