This article has been around for a long time I realize, but during that time there has been no effort made to furnish it with sources. It has been tagged for notability and lack of sources for many years. For a time it read like an advertisement, replete with puffery and unverified claims. I've looked around quite diligently and can find no independent third party sourcing on this person. Even his own website has few biographical details.

Withdrawn. An editor has done a good job of sourcing this article so I am happy to withdraw this nomination. Jay Tepper (talk) 20:00, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
