NAICS: 711 Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries Description: Site covering NFL Draft prospects |
| It all started with my love of football and my fascination with the NFL Draft. After I started scouting draft prospects in 2002, I decided to delve deeper into the subject by writing for numerous sites and even taking a scouting and general manager class in hopes of furthering my knowledge of scouting. My initial goal was to become a scout for an NFL team, but I'm more than content with running my own thing and continuing to build my rapport in the draft community. |

| 3.) One thing that always stuck out to me before I became an entrepreneur and live in New Jersey was running my own business. The first step i took to becoming an entrepreneur was traveling to Los Angeles with three other co-workers to open a new office for AT&T. I knew on the flight from Jersey that this was the big step to reaching my goal of becoming an entrepreneur. It was going to take a lot of hard work, effort, and preserverance to maintain a successful office, knowing that we only had five guys to start with. A couple of years later I found myself building my own team and ready to expand out to my own office being contracted with Intuit. I year after I opened my own office I terribly missed home. So I closed down my San Diego office and opened a new location in Philidelphia switching over to energy saving for businesses, which was right next door to home. My initial goal was to just be my own boss, but it feels good to be able to do so right at home. |
