I love the “sport of business” (a phrase I picked up from Mark Cuban). I mean, how cool is it that an entrepreneur can think of an idea for a new restaurant, a new airline, a new fitness club or whatever, and then go about creating a business to make it happen! It’s made all the more exciting by that fact that big money is sometimes at stake, and that you’re interacting with real people all day long.

I think a lot about other businesses I encounter:

  • Why do I prefer Staples to OfficeMax when they’re basically identical?
  • I really like the “Pei-Wei” style of restaurants…but now I never eat at P.F. Chang’s.
  • When did the Sharper Image start to suck so bad?

In December 2002, I founded Omedix. The initial concept was basically “websites for doctors” and our global headquarters was my apartment. Today (June 2007), we’ve grown to over 350 clients throughout the USA and have broadened our purview to “Helping medical practices reach patients in new ways using the Internet.” And perhaps more importantly, we really do have a headquarters that is not my home now!

I really love working every day and have been fortunate to enjoy some really wonderful successes, but I’ve made my fair share of mistakes along the way, too. One of my major motivations for writing this blog was to capture what I’m learning about business and entrepreneurship and share it with people. In my mind, I’ve also got — I think — a pretty solid understanding of what it takes to make a business “successful.” At some point, I plan on writing it all out in a separate section on this blog.

My second major interest is pretty much anything to do with computers. I love using computers, love writing software, and love using technology in cool ways to make my life easier.

Finally, I come from a family where everyone is involved in healthcare in one way or another. So that’s a third major interest area of mine.

This blog covers all my thoughts on Web, Entrepreneurship, and Healthcare. Thanks for reading!
