      About Me
      I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC. I recently quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time.

In fact, my thought processing,...

On the web, especially in the areas of web development, graphic design and blogging, those who are trying to make a living off of their skills are referred to as freelancers. In the world of business, people who are trying to...
