Profile Information

How did you hear about this site InHouston?: I created InHouston.ning.com. I was growing my LinkedIn network (now almost 10000+ direct connects and over 14 million in the network) and realized that lots of them were here in Houston. So, I started a LinkedIn group. That grew, so I invited them to start up the conversation around events at inhouston.ning.com. Now we are over 14000 members on the Ning site and over 8000 in the LinkedIn group. Now that isn't a 10th of the Houston members of LinkedIn and is a small portion of my group of Houston contacts, but we are growing at a good clip as people join and get involved. Are you involved yet?

I own a laser skincare business and I want to invite members to my Open House events, but I do not know the best way/ways to do this, without seeming like a spammer. Can you help, Please?

How have you been sir? It has been a while since we've seen each other. I hope things are going well. I'm no longer down the street from your office. I've moved down to Clear Lake to take over my father's financial practice.

Next time you are down here, let's go to lunch. Have a great rest of the week!
