    I helped to make a few people very wealthy. But to say more would seem like bragging. It was kind of like the TV show, Shark Tank. And it had to do with being at the right place, at the right time. There was also an international component to the formula and finally I needed to be a guy who knew how to "put earrings on a pig" in order to get her ready for the big dance. Now if you know what any of this means and if you smile when you read this, then you will understand what my role was as Director of Marketing for Dataserv/BellSouth. And if you have a company, an idea or a pig in need of "dressing" and you are dreaming of becoming wealthy, perhaps you should contact me. I might be able to help. I've had some experience in this area.
