I’m Arnie,
the man-in-the- middle …
I’ve built my professional career as the “go to” guy for new products, ideas & innovation. I’ve spent his entire career taking “Playdough” and developing real products and services. I truly love the process of melding disparate “trends & ideas”, then and creating something completely new.
