Peter Awad
Peter started his first retail internet based business in 2001 while attending the University of Central Florida. He graduated in 2003 with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering but decided he enjoyed being a business owner much more.
Since then he has grown this business into a global operation and ships product worldwide. He loves seeing other businesses start, flourish and become more efficient. He is currently a member of the eCommerce Merchants Trade Association and the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance.
Peter lives in Decorah, IA with his wife and two children and escapes the winter whenever possible.
Jason Trout
Jason launched his first Internet business in 2001 while attending the University of Iowa. His dotcom was the winner of the Merle Volding Business Plan Competition sponsored by the U of I John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center (from which he also received his Certificate in Entrepreneurship).
Upon graduation he decided to forgo the traditional career path to instead focus on his business, which he then sold to a larger company in 2002. He has since launched several other Internet businesses and in 2006 began helping individuals start online businesses of their own through a series of classes and workshops. Beginning in 2007 he also started working with existing businesses, assisting them with using the Internet to increase their profitability.
He lives in Decorah, Iowa and consults with businesses small and large throughout the United States.
