WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Who am I and why am I here?

Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010, 09:32:02 AM Eastern Time USA by HN.
When Ray acquired HowardNeu.com and along with one of my business partners, Danny Pryor, decided to develop it into a vehicle for me to express my knowledge and opinions on various matters, I thought that it was a great idea. However, right up front, I want everyone to know that this is not intended to be another Domain Blog. I will not be competing with my best friends Mike Berkens, Rick Schwartz, Owen Frager and Ron Jackson. I am not going to write about what others write about, but rather, I will either be reporting on matters that no one else is writing about, or give my opinion on those matters.



For those of you who don't know who I am, you can either read about me here, or simply GOOGLE me. I encourage my readers to submit questions in my fields of so-called expertise including, T.R.A.F.F.I.C.,(which my partner Rick Schwartz and I founded in 2004), domain investing ( which I started in earnest in 2007), UDRP or ACPA law suits (there are only a handful of attorneys who practice Domain Defense Litigation), politics (I was a Mayor, a Councilman, a Municipal Judge and ran a number of political campaigns behind the scenes), general law ( I still have a real estate, probate and corporate litigation practice), music ( I have sung professionally and semi-professionally for all my life), theater ( I have appeared in many South Florida theatrical productions), movies (the first one I was in was Smoky and the Bandit II), Jewish Liturgy (I was a choir Director for 35 years and my father was a Cantor), TV and radio talk shows ( I produced and hosted my own TV and radio talk shows) - all of which I have been directly involved in at one time or another.



The bottom line is that I hope to make this column interesting enough for you, our reader, to want to come back again and again and even participate in the discussion. Though it is not a forum, it will be an outlet to express opinions from time to time on interesting topics of the day. I look forward to hearing from you.



Thanks for "listening"



Howard
