Welcome to my profile page which has both with a brief view of my professional experience but also with a few of the companies I have founded and ongoing project work with which I am involved. Keep in mind you can also view my LinkedIn Professional Profile.
First and foremost I am Founder and CEO of Honeypot Marketing. We are a small boutique Internet Marketing firm with offices in Toronto and Vancouver. Feel free to have a peek at some of our Internet Marketing programs over at Honeypot Marketing.
Tragically I lost my best friend and my brother, Dušan Nedelko on February 18, 2010 in motor vehicle accident in Northern Ontario. Through the grief and loss we have founded the Dušan Nedelko Foundation whose goal is to “Enable Youth Through Outdoor Activity”.
As chairman of the FounDušan I am involved in all aspects of the charitable status registration„ marketing, administration, fund raising, events and dispersing of funds to outdoor educators, youth programs and other qualifying groups in the Province of Ontario.
It is my goal to ensure a lasting legacy for my brother’s passion of the outdoors and love of mentoring youth through that outdoor activity.
To give a bit of a personal background on me, I’ve included a portion of my CV which suprisingly enough has about 15 years of history behind it. Also please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions, comments, insults or just want to chat.
