About
One operator. The whole stack.
Spark Innovations Corp is a Florida company I founded to develop and incubate software — and to take on outside work building web and mobile applications corp-to-corp. The idea is simple: a client gets a single person who can architect a system, design its interface, write the code, and stand it up in production.
I've spent more than thirty years doing exactly that — from enterprise systems for global companies to the platforms Spark builds and runs itself. That range is the point. The same instincts that ship a Fortune 500 line-of-business app are the ones behind Gig Game, OneSparked, and VotBox.
My influence is Walt Disney: build for the story, and build things people actually use. Whether it's enterprise software, a live game, or a novel, I'm making the same thing — an experience people want to come back to. It's where the name comes from: the single spark of inspiration that turns an idea into something real.
And the business instinct isn't theoretical. Since 2008 I've founded multiple startups — including JobCrank — pitched business plans to investors, worked with the UCF Venture Lab, and cleared due diligence with the Winter Park Angels. So if you want a builder who thinks about the business, not just the ticket, that's the work I do.
