My Story
My Journey: From Transylvania to Tech Entrepreneur
Born and raised in Cluj, the heart of Transylvania, Romania, my story is of constant evolution and the pursuit of passion. At age 24, I left Cluj and went to Italy, first to Venice and then to Rome. I only hung out briefly there; I needed something new and modern after having enough of historic towns, so I embarked on an adventure that took me from the historic streets of Rome to the bustling avenues of New York City. There, under the city lights, I found my first job behind the wheel of a taxi cab, navigating the city’s streets at night.
My curiosity and drive for knowledge led me to Apex Tech, where I delved into the automotive service industry. Specializing in drivability, performance issues, and automotive computer controls, I honed my skills and eventually co-founded Accutech, an auto service center in Long Island City, New York. Alongside my partner Miky, we made a name for ourselves as electrical and drivability diagnostics experts. However, as our paths diverged, I sold my share of the business and ventured into Real Estate.
In the realm of Real Estate, I discovered a burgeoning love for computers. Starting with an IBM-compatible, I embarked on a self-taught journey into the digital world. By the dawn of Windows, I had become proficient in Computers, the Internet, and Networking, favoring Netscape (at that time) as my gateway to the online universe. My passion for technology grew, leading me to explore Web Design, HTML, and CSS, crafting digital experiences for friends in the automotive industry.

In 1997, my wife Julie and I set our sights on Charlotte, NC, a city that quickly captured our hearts. There, I joined Gunk (later RSCBrands) as a Help Desk tech, a role that evolved into a 23-year tenure as a Network Administrator. I played a pivotal role in building the company’s network infrastructure, embracing the latest technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and efficiency.
However, all chapters must come to an end. In September 2022, faced with the sale of Blumenthal Business Services (formerly RSCBrands), I seized the moment to follow my long-standing dream of designing websites full-time. With a deep understanding of WordPress CMS (Content management system) and Divi, I dove headfirst into the world of Technical SEO, guided by the expertise of Nathan Gotch of GotchSEO.
Today, as I weave together my diverse experiences and skills, I stand at the forefront of digital design and online strategy, ready to bring visions to life through compelling websites and vibrant digital landscapes.
Join me as we explore the possibilities of the digital world together.
