He is the founder and managing director of Raspberry Red, a consulting firm, focused on digital strategies and web marketing, assisting small and mid-sized companies with branding, merchandising, operations, finance and ecommerce.

He also developed an early internet/physical store concept Lyte backed by Western Development, AT&T, and EDS.
