About

July 2021 starts the next chapter in my 32-year career in online marketing, shopping, and digital retailing. From selling cars online thru dial-up BBSs & Compuserve (1989), to financing & leasing cars online thru LeaseCompare.com (2000), to powering the eBay Motors Finance Portal (2008), to launching Shop-by-Payment & Digital Retailing on dealer websites (2010), to helping lenders/credit unions serve their customers with a better car buying experience (2018), it's been an amazing ride so far. The strategic sale of truPayments to PureCars unleashes the power of the industry's only Credit-First Digital Experience Platform, GRAIL® DXP. This exciting announcement is the largest advancement in online marketing, merchandising, shopping, and digital retailing. Combining PureCars Martech (marketing technology) and truPayments Fintech (financial technology) is a huge win for auto, powersports, RV and marine dealers, lenders, agencies, OEMs, consumers, and supporting vendors
