Welcome to my personal page. I work for Care2. I am responsible for placing the advertisements that you see on Care2.
Care2 is nearly entirely supported by our advertisers. In order to provide each of you with our many free services, we offer advertising opportunities to companies that value your attention.
As the head of our advertising sales department, I am constantly challenged to present quality, relevant advertisers to our members and visitors. Some advertisers may not be an ideal fit for the green nature of our content, but they are most likely trying to reach the demographic that we appeal to. An example might be a pharmaceutical company that is offering a type of medicine to treat arthritis or migraines. The advertiser may not be a green company, and the product is likely not natural, but many in our audience might be interested to learn about a treatment that can improve their quality of life. While some of us work hard to live a green life and are strictly organic and natural, many are less strict, and the vast majority consider themselves to be mainstream or "light green" (don't drive a hybrid, don't clean with green products & don't purchase only all-natural products). While light green consumers aren't as committed as others, they are conscious of the importance of the green movement, support it, and are striving to learn more about how to make a difference. These consumers are often transitioning to a less-toxic, more green lifestyle and looking for information and tips, which is what often brings them to Care2. Some advertisements on Care2 appeal to our dark green audience and others appeal to our light green audience, and some appeal to both.
Occasionally advertisers will require us to use expanding ads. Expanding ad units are accepted and used by all major Web publishers. While we understand that these advertisements are sometimes intrusive and bothersome, they are popular with large advertisers and their use is a requirement for us to participate with the campaign. Thanks again for visiting my personal page and for taking the time to read my thoughts. I hope that you have a better understanding of our position on advertising. Thank you for your use and support of Care2...
I am a hard working and devoted family man. I try to enjoy life to the fullest, while keeping a strong focus on achieving my personal and business goals. My wife and children mean everything to me. I am tenacious, determined and very passionate about my career with Care2. I am on a mission to make a difference, to help the environment, assist our corporate sponsors and enrich lives everywhere.
I love animals! While I have never worked in a shelter or a zoo, I have personally cared for a wide variety of critters. I have rescued several endangered species and been bitten by around 10 different snakes!
My Philosophy
Our existence is about relationships... Each of us has a relationship with ourselves, the world, and all life on it. I believe that it is our responsibility to enrich each relationship. As individuals, we should strive to only influence all relationships in positive way.
What Gives Me Hope
My faith. The organic movement. Big tobacco and Big oil are slowly going away. A deeper awareness is forthcoming that will surely give way to an age of enlightenment.

Give tax brakes and free healthcare to those that live healthy lives, void of tobacco, alcohol and junk food. Require all restaurants to replace the unhealthy junk they serve with healthy alternatives.
