He started out his "internet career" doing virtual training to the Mortgage Industry and Loan Officers using Q&A style format emails and eventually wrote an ebook from this training.

His primary training focus was based on what is called "The Inner Game", which focuses on tweaking one’s attitude and thought process to utilize the inner talents of each individual. He still does training in the mortgage industry, but his focus has moved to the entire internet world.
