Started several small businesses. Always looking for opportunities to be the first, the best, or the best alternative. ActivistEyewear.com - I'd love to connect with people who share my passion for creating innovative products through creative design. Our patent-pending Split-Fit temples represent an evolutionary step forward in eyewear design. We have crafted our limited edition sunglasses for the modern dapper outdoorsman which gives the brand a very distinct sense of styling. We are very proud of the media coverage we've already received http://www.activisteyewear.com/news.php , and look forward to connecting others who can help us spread the word. Activist Eyewear believes in small-batch production, limited distribution, and frames crafted for the individual. We are currently offering our sunglasses through high-end optical boutiques in 5 countries. We continue to look for the ONE right optical shop in each city/ neighborhood to introduce our product to the world. http://www.ActivistEyewear.com EatGreenTea.com - There are 100x more antioxidants in EatGreenTea than in brewed green tea. To get the full nutritional impact you need to eat the whole leaf - but beware because many tea leaves have high toxicity levels. We tested green tea from organic farms all over the world and bring you the purest green tea leaves available anywhere on the planet. http://www.EatGreenTea.com GetMyTime.com - We were the first web-based time-tracking service to integrate with Quickbooks all the way back in 2001. We've continued to improve our service over time and are in the midst of a massive upgrade that is going to offer some fantastic new features. I need help from Quickbooks accountants, bookkeepers, and ProAdvisors to let their clients know about our service. Please feel free to contact me about anything non-spammy anthonyvcodispoti@gmail.com Specialties:I naturally obsess about details which is why premium eyewear is such a great fit for me. Fractions of a millimeter can make or break a design, so there is no margin for error! I love the quality, and innovation of our sunglasses and look forward to growing the line. EatGreenTea.com Feeling my best allows me to do my best. I've never felt better than I have since I started EATING whole green tea leaves every day. Whole green tea leaves contain 10,000% more antioxidants than brewed tea.

For over 10 years we have been providing reliable online timesheets to the small business community. Specialized reports, project grouping capabilities, and customizable settings make our product one of the easiest to use in the industry. At only $2.75 per user, we offer tremendous value to our customers. From May 2001 to Present (14 years 7 months) Owner @ I assist companies looking for new sources of raw materials or finished products. By eliminating the distributor or wholesaler a great deal of money can be saved. I manage the entire process of locating prospective suppliers and interviewing them, evaluating samples, negotiating terms, executing payment, handling customs clearance and duty payments, and arranging door to door shipping. My extensive experience sourcing raw materials and finished goods for my own companies gives me a rare perspective on the process. Having traveled to and done business in over 30 foreign countries allows me to navigate international commerce with ease and confidence.

Later when I started working on a new line of high end sunglasses with a business partner, I incorporated Activist Eyewear. I have since folded the operations of Naked Shades Eyewear into Activist Eyewear. From January 2007 to January 2008 (1 year 1 month) Columbus, OHOwner @ Worked with vendors to establish a more efficient ordering process, standardize production quality, and reduce shipping costs.
