Experience

  • CEO / Founder at SparkStarter, LLC
    2013 - Present · 13 yrs 6 mos

    My wife and I were set up by a mutual friend through Facebook. I realized years later that meeting through a friend was simple, easy, and most importantly - it worked! I wanted other people to have the same opportunity to meet people through friends, so I started SparkStarter, a place where you can play matchmaker for your friends online. We didn't invent the concept of meeting through a friend - we just made it easier! www.SparkStarter.com
