Full bio

I'm the head project manager and co-founder of BLARE Media. Born in Miami, FL and eventually moved to California to attend and graduate from Fresno State in 2000. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart. In my earlier years I sold candy, pens, pencils and other knick knacks to my elementary school classmates. After graduating I quickly resumed my entrepreneur spirit and started a limousine company. In order to market my new company I produced a local television show “No Cover” where commercials for my limo company would play during the breaks. I liked the world of media so much that I sold my limousine company and started BLARE Media with my partner Justin McAleece. In the beginning BLARE Media was strictly a video production company. Around 2007 I fell in love with the internet and have been obsessed ever since. Currently, with the help of my wife Jennifer Barnett, BLARE Media has video & web clients all throughout the country as well as a few abroad.
