guess you could say my story begins as a child. While others played
with boardgames, I was constructing my own. I grew up with a
fascination in the creative aspects of life, the idea of innovation.
Since as long as I can remember I viewed the world in a slightly
different perspective then most. I tried to dismantle the existing
system, find its weakness, and exploit it. Whether this is to be
considered a gift or not I will never know, but throughout my life
people have noticed this difference. Even at the strangest moments
people have mentioned that I possesses a drive that distinguishes me
from anyone. With this repetitive observation I have always felt that I
had large shoes to fill. For the first time in my life I see where my
success lies and have realized that my current corporate situation only
stifles my potential. I have always had an entrepreneur spirit and
desire to dictate my own future. The formation of Gadingo Inc. with my
childhood friend has created a confidence that cannot be ignored. The
best business ideas emerge out of problems we face first hand. Gadingo
meshes my passion for entertainment events, the spirit of innovation,
and the ability to create a lucrative business through a solution I've
discovered.
