About Me

... and made an online business out of it!


My name is Kirby and I'm originally from the east coast of Canada from a small town in Nova Scotia of about 1100 people called Western Shore. If you blink while passing thru, you may miss it. Currently I live in our nations capital, Ottawa ON. It's a city of approx 850,000 (quite a jump from 1100), but a great place to live.


I play my guitar from home and work out of coffee shops for a living. How do I manage to do that? (See below). Lots of people out there dream of working from home ... to sleep in and have everyday become a Saturday ... to ditch the long commutes, the PITA bosses and long hrs. But they feel trapped! There is a way out.


What I enjoy doing as a musician, since I was 7 years old, is of course playing the guitar. I love learning new songs and teaching others. So that was my plan.


Being a member of the Air Force for 23+ years has of course built in security. And they pay us well for what we do. But job satisfaction has to count for something. I wanted to fly in a plane ... not fly a desk.


I had volunteered to come to Ottawa to work as a Parametric Analyst (that's Electronic Warfare signal analysis stuff). In the beginning it was interesting, but as time passed, it was another cubicule job with no real satifaction in it. I was just another govenment cow ... do this, do that, dont think or ask questions ... yuk!


So I began planning my escape from the cubicle in Oct of 2005, and by Jun 2007, I was free! Glad that's all behind me now.

Today I run my own business, teach at a local college and teach online to help people create their own online businesses.


How about you? Ready for a change ... or to start planning in case your job gets cut? Heading for retirement or already retired and bored? Are you already spending 4 yrs in a university program as a student? Then obviously you're not the lazy type. Maybe this is for you?



A short 4 min 14 sec video intro on the product I use called SiteBuildIt.



If you have any questions about the program, ctc me and I'd be glad to help answer any concerns you may have.
