As QuikDrop VP then President (2004-2007), he grew it from 10 to 100+ global franchises, sold $50M in goods, partnered with USPS/UPS/FedEx, and appeared in CNBC’s “The eBay Effect.”

Media and high-profile projects highlight his impact. He coordinated Discovery Channel’s “Pop Nation” auctions featuring MC Hammer’s limo and Beatles collectibles, he was featured in Verizon Broadband Stories on a Times Square bi
