About

First and foremost, I am a family man. Family is the most important thing in life.

I am gratefully and happily married to Carmel. We have three amazing children, Oz, Noga, and Matan, and one little dog, Elvis.

I am an entrepreneur with three technology companies under my belt.

I have been a lifelong entrepreneur, launching my first technology-based company, Herbal Research, Inc., in 2000, developing over 25 online e-commerce stores selling herbal supplements. I then founded Rank Advisor, Inc., an Internet marketing agency that consulted small-to-medium-sized businesses on building online success via SEO and PPC.

I am also the co-founder of two internet startups: Adventurix, Inc., and FeedbackNow, Inc. Adventurix connected travelers with travel lodges around the world, and FeedbackNow helped businesses collect information about client feedback at the point of experience over Wi-Fi.

In the last decade, as CEO and Founder of WebtrixPro, Inc., I’ve put together a strong and dedicated team of people specializing in AI-powered software development and digital transformation services for small and medium-sized companies.

I am also a community leader and activist who volunteers my time to better the community I live in. I mentor young entrepreneurs and am a keynote speaker in the Jewish-Israeli community, sharing my knowledge of entrepreneurship, leadership, and community. I have served and am still serving the community in several capacities:

- Founder of the Israeli Division in the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, dedicated to connecting the Jewish Israeli-American, Jewish-American, and Latin Jewish communities in Miami by promoting Israeli culture and Jewish education.

- Founder and mentor of the Israeli Division ATIDIM program dedicated to guiding young entrepreneurs in today’s business world.

- Founder and president of the Miami Israeli Parliament, a not-for-profit organization committed to developing and promoting Israeli and Jewish culture in our local community.

- Counselor for Oriane to Life, a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to helping and supporting bereaved families from Israel living in North America.

- Member of the Board of Directors at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center.

- Co-founder of the Israeli-American Task Force at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.

- Mentor in the Israeli American Council’s EITANIM program dedicated to teaching high school students the skills to succeed in college and life.
