Hi I'm David Parkinson (https://www.twitter.com/followdavid on twitter). I am life-long entrepreneur hailing from Lawrence, Kansas who started my first business @ 10 years old. I majored in Computer Science at UC San Diego then worked at Microsoft a few years before leaving to raise $500K for one of my businesses.
