 Rovrr, Inc. (Co-Founder)

Rovrr was formed in late 2007 to build and to market an advertising platform named Stuff I Like.  For advertisers, Rovrr allowed key influencers to be identified and their dollar value approximated.  For users, Stuff I Like provided a tool that enabled users to share products they like with their friends and to build their online identity through products.  Rovrr’s technology has been abstracted to enable white label offerings from clients ranging from national sports teams to major retailers.

Social Bundle (Co-Founder)


Social Bundle is a wholly-owned division of AOI.  I co-founded Social Bundle after realizing the gap in social media offerings for small businesses.  SB provides restaurant owners, single store owners, and similar sized businesses with a simple bundle of social media offerings to build their online presence and, ultimately, sales.  SB is unique in that all content is generated by experienced professionals in the Twin Cities to ensure that all customer communications are authentic and natural.
