 Website was created for the sole purpose of introducing the world to Solid State Drive technology coupled with RAID redundancy. I was the first person in the world to review the Mtron 16GB Professional Solid State Drive. I had worked directly with the Asian Company Mtron in publishing the article, titled “Battleship Mtron” which can be viewed here: http://www.nextlevelhardware.com/storage/battleship/   That article pioneered many of the new ideas and intellect that surround current SSD enterprise storage technology regarding redundancy using flash devices. I was published on the front page of the well known website Engadget.com as well as Wired.com the magazine. Since inception of the article I have received countless emails from professionals all around the world regarding flash technology. This website generates heavy traffic but does not generate any revenue based primarily on the fact that I was personally intrigued by the technology and I published the article for personal enjoyment.

Objective

I would like to further expand on my current group of financial assets by acquiring and building new companies, expanding and helping both old and new companies develop by direct or internet marketing, continue striving to build contacts and maintain profitability in all of my current assets. Place a stronger emphasize on the entertainment and nightlife industry over the next few years developing web presences, and organizing new venues with top 100 DJ's.
