I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

Open Source WP Themes

Brian Gardner has been my favorite WordPress Theme developer for a while now. His themes in conjunction with Jason Schuller plugins are by far the new standard in my opinion. I typically use Brian’s themes as a starter shell for my projects and usually hack the CSS and images to make the finished product look […]

Advertising on Social Networks is something that I have been following pretty closely because I see so much potential there. Turns out my hunch on social media advertising that I posted a few months back has turned into a reality, it works. Did you know that 40% of consumers have made purchases based on advertising […]
