    Became UV’s CMO, FTW

    I began leading growth for UV. Figuring out how to land million dollar dev contracts has been quite the adventurous ride. I’ve been loving it and conquering it! Update: We did it! We sold it to Argano!

    Founded Checkraise

    Ask me about it. Checkraise built the most modern poker technology on the market — including the first in-browser, real-money, fully legal poker game. And it gave me an excuse to spend most of my time in São Paulo for a few years and learn Portuguese.

    Discovered ‘The Net’ and Made Some of the Very Early Interesting Pages

    I discovered ‘the Net’ (information superhighway?) and had lots of ideas for web pages–and taught myself programming, made them, and years later, they still get a ton of traffic. There are many, but here are a bunch, for Memory’s Sake: Yiddishisms: Yiddish Sayings (I also interviewed my relatives and wrote a book on my family history but that’s not for public consumption!); the first Antoine de St Exupery page; the first Albert Einstein page; the first Simpsons Quote page; the first Ogden Nash page; the first Francis Bacon page; the first site about my hometown Great Neck; my long-time game of finding words-in-other words; my favorite etymologies; my long-time favorite poem; my thoughts on wandering around; my game of trying to understand business-ese; the only guide to walking around NY’s ethnic neighborhoods; some ancient quotes that once influenced me; my cv; books that moved me; and pre-Facebook photos of me.

About

I’m Morgan Friedman and I find meaning in deep focus. Here’s is a timeline of my projects: some professional, some for fun, but what’s the difference? Professionally, I get my hands dirty, learning how to get millions in sales or votes, then managing teams to making it happen. Personally, the 411 is I was born 1/14 & I know a ton about a few topics, zero about anything else. My observations are likely obvious, trivial, or wrong.
