Rebuilding

Hey folks.  Travis from Tech The Future here.  Been busy.  I'm moving my site to this new blog so please be patient as I un-archive and transfer previous posts before copying across images too.  Please be patient!

Patrick Robson - Serial Entrepreneur

Patrick Robson is a serial entrepreneur although he rarely acknowledges his previous achievements. Starting from his parent's garage and with just a two hundred dollars, Robson built several six figure businesses.

Many struggle to launch and run just one company, so how does Patrick do it?  In a conversation with AGC's Rob Newman, the graduate explains how he approaches new concepts, understands the market, and takes action.
An early immigrant from Poland, he spent the majority of his childhood growing up on BBS systems.

"AG mapping is a powerful tool for getting accurate placement onto a pre-primed object. The problem with that power is that point control can become quite tedious when unwrapping AG's. Robson does a great job of taking a big chunk out of that tedium by bringing in the necessary automation team." - Luke Farnham

Currently his most important target is impacting 2,000,000 young business owners to grow their markets.

Craig Gray - The Wiz Way

"Is leveraging unprotected WiFi networks morally wrong?"

This was the question posted by Craig Gray at yesterday's Tech Conference.

"If no effort is made to secure your systems, even if they aren't aware of this, then they might as well not be using this technology!"

Gray digital IQ is 141 a score calculated based on technology interactions and weighted averages.

He knows that he'll be spending many summer nights tweaking his schedule to accomodate the use of these great tech tools.

"I just have to map out a great proposal to ensure that I can use tools in my district."

Nelson Clemente - A Techy Creative

Nelson Clemente combines his technical and engineering expertise with a creative approach to problem solving. Having spanned a variety of disciplines and fields, his main focus is to strive in the area he dedicates the moment to. Nelson's key advantage is the ability to teach technology in an abstract way to those who need to absorb the information.

Some remarks:

"The thing with Nelson is that you really feel that he's working to make you look good. He is team focussed and his presentation skills at the end of it all gave us the edge we needed" - Tanya Fourie (Free Enterprise Solutions)

"Rarely do you find an individual who is so versed in the IT world, yet has the ability to communicate effectively with the 'real'. He gets people and has an interest in you understanding core concepts. You're not left in the deep end." - Joshua Mullins (Far West College)

"Nelson is a teacher first and foremost. Over the years I've experienced people resisting a 'pay it forward' mentality. On the other hand, Mr. Clemente's seminars are indicative of his willingness to pass on and teach relevant data to his peers and clients alike." - Gay Moore (Moore & Smith Research Network)

"Everyone says that you can't be an engineer and an artistic eye as well. Everyone says there's no place for creativity in IT. Everyone is wrong.  Plus, he's a nice guy!" - Martin Walsh (EM Creatives)

Fabio Concise - From Research to Management

Spanish circuit designer. After working for several Spanish research companies, Concise established his own company, SPA Chips. Throughout the 1980s and '90s he grew this division, staging several events and exhibitions, later pioneering his signature approach.

Fabio was a main maintainer of networking and the SPARK implementation.

Although he has a strong appreciation for many programming languages, he tends to prefer managing his company and carefully selecting the people who work for him.
