Way back in 1999, when the world was preparing for the possible shutdown of anything even remotely related to a computer and before a domain name was something to be purchased for newborns, I had an epiphany.

My wife and I were running a tiny screen printing and graphic design business out of our garage and designing offbeat promotions to get the word out about it. It seemed that few people at our local chamber of commerce meetings were able to remember my name, opting instead to refer to me as "you know, that bald guy." A quick search showed that the domain thatbaldguy.com was available, and so I snatched it up and began to use it as my playground for the myriad interests and projects I would find myself involved with over the years. At times, it has gone for long stretches without being updated, as the demands of a growing family (we have 5 amazing kids) and various employment opportunities ebbed and flowed. All the while I smiled assuredly as I confirmed that yes, my email actually was thatbaldguy@thatbaldguy.com. Better branding through premature baldness... who knew.

Since the fall of 2007, the photography business my wife and I have operated, has been the guinea pig for all of the crazy ideas we could dream up. Along the way, I've continued to help create web presence, marketing and promotional pieces for small businesses, clubs and teams in the area.

Recently, I've rediscovered my interest in video, combined with the ease of distribution afforded by the widespread access to and acceptance of social media.

Today more than ever, the story makes the difference... what's yours?
