Ariete Consulting & Sproffer

Dana Jessup and I are partners in a few wonderful endeavors and we have formalized our work in two specific areas so far.  Under the name Ariete Consulting, we have collaborated to offer marketing and technology consulting to small to medium sized growing businesses.  Our sweet spot so to speak is to work with companies who have products or service-based products and help them to market and position those products/services that deliver the best ROI.  We support all aspects of strategy, marketing implementation, collateral development and technology support from software automation to websites.  Enabling the business to focus on what it does best.  Create, sell and deliver the products and services. 

Out of this work we have also created our new product - Sproffer, "Spread the Offer".  Look for more on Sproffer in the coming months as we launch our BETA with companies here in Denver.

The Internet Plan:  A Workbook for Creating Your Online Presence is a book that I just had published in the summer of 2011!  Check it out!  It is available for sale on the website and on Amazon. You can also read the book online!

Music is so inspiring!

Here are some tracks that I love... I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I now have 2 official Blogs as well as my writings here on this website.  Check them out!

In my primary blog, I write of all the vagaries of my mind.  With a general focus at the intersection of or wanderings of technology, communications and progressive religion.  It is hear that I share what I am reading, what I am writing, what news is catching my attention and having me think differently as well as where I share about travel and food - some of my favorite home oriented topics.  It is also where I work out some of my ideas and prescriptives for change.  I only hope that you find it interesting and valuable.  Some archived writings are still housed here on the website on my Writings page.

The Internet Plan is my blog for small business owners - it is full of resources and ideas about planning your online presence including great recommendations for services, tools and vendors.  If you are thinking about creating a website, blog, or to market a business online, you should check this out!

You can also follow me, friend me, like me and whatever other verb pleases you on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

I'M A SPANISH CITIZEN!

I recently received my official Spanish birth certificate!  I now have the legal ability to live and work in 26 countries!   As most of you probably know I grew up in Spain and my Dad is originally from Tenerife in the Canary Islands.  I have lived in Spain as an adult and Matthew and I very much want to live and work there again in the future (although perhaps not full time).

Recently, Spain enacted a law that allows all children and grandchildren whose parents/grandparents were born in Spain and who left between 1936 and 1955 to 'regain' their natural Spanish citizenship.

My Writings about Generosity & Giving

2012:  Escapes to Puerto Vallarta so that I can take a few days off.  I've somehow lost the capacity for doing so while in Colorado.

2011 August: Mom & Dad's 50th wedding anniversary

2011 Spring - France & Spain: We are finally taking a trip to Europe where we visit a new place.  This will be our first visit to Paris so we are very much looking forward to this trip!!  Send me any suggestions you may have.

2011 Winter - PV Again: We are making a habit of coming here and think we should invest.  :)

It is hard to see the moon - but this was an incredible view of the full moon under the aqueduct in Segovia, Spain.
