28 Years in E-Commerce Now Pivoting to AI & Automations
Hello fellow AI founders & enthusiasts! Finding this local group has got me fired up! A Bit About Me Born in Los Angeles, proud Filipino, and now soaking up the sun in Scottsdale, AZ. My wife and I spent four straight years living the nomad life in a motorhome and traveling internationally before settling down. We're now first-time parents to our 1-year-old boy named Miko "MacGyver." Yes, that's his real middle name – I was obsessed with MacGyver! We also have a 14-year old Silkie Terrier named Chloe who's still kicking. My wife and I traveled full-time for four years in a motorcoach and saw half of the country, as well as a dozen foreign countries. COVID forced us to settle down in Austin, TX, when certain states started to tighten up their borders. Hit the big 5-0 this year (half a century, folks!). My wife is 13 years younger than me and doubles as my business partner. I've weathered some serious storms – nearly filed for bankruptcy once and dropped out of college just six months shy of completing my Computer Information Systems degree because of boredom. The school moved at a glacial pace, and I was already earning a great living in tech. My Journey I've been in the e-commerce trenches for nearly 30 years (internet dinosaur status confirmed). Built multiple successful brands, survived Amazon's rollercoaster (including a full-blown account suspension right before my wedding... nothing tests your crisis management skills quite like that), and made pretty much every mistake possible along the way. Truth is, I've been knee-deep in automation for decades before it became the hot thing everyone's chasing. My e-commerce operations relied heavily on connecting inventory management systems, order processing workflows, vendor management tools, and CRMs. I've hired coders to create custom apps and scripts to bridge operational gaps that off-the-shelf solutions couldn't handle. One could say I was forced to learn integrations and automations simply to keep my businesses from imploding.

Couldn’t attend Phoenix Startup Week…
So I got a booth and placed a robot to stand there for 5 days, designed an outlandish signage that says “this is not a drill” and that “AI robots are taking over Phoenix” that leads to the Arizona AI Syndicate/Ai Learning Center opt in. Opt-ins coming in faster than if we had a real person there probably haha. #guerillamarketing #bedifferent #makeingnoise
