Hi My name is Doran Peck, I am the owner of this here place.

That's me in the photo with my wife and kiddos. Somehow It seems a little more validating when there's proof that at least some people are willing to be in a photo with you.

So its March of 2026, with the start of something, hopefully useful to my fellow humans. My motivation is to create a resource for small business owners, as they wear their marketing hat through the perilous journey of...businessing.

In my... upper 50 years of life's adventure... I've had the opportunity to engage in many diverse lines of work, and have visited many places. With the baggage of life's experiences, and a marketing background, I think this might just click.

Admittedly I got off to a slow start, slacking too much in high school, but that led to an opportunity to eventually discover what would be a lifelong passion. Accelerated Learning techniques, and helping others through teaching and course creation. Some of my other stumblings through life found me in the Big Apple. I survived at first as a package messenger, living off 25 cent chocolate cookies and dollar cheeseburgers, eventually making my way into some fancy restaurant work...with better food. Then I accidentally backed into the corporate ladder, but thankfully ended up working with some of the best marketing talent in corporate NY while at Saks Fifth Avenue. I was also later the executive assistant to TC Anderson, a premier event consultant (...When the owners of places like Tiffanies, Elizabeth Arden, Saks etc. needed a private party, a celebrity concert, or wedding for a grand daughter, he was the guy on speed dial). He was an old School Harvard fella. I had to teach him how to use a computer, and the internet, and email, which was the new thing. The fun didn't stop there, my own landlord hired me on as a paralegal, I've worked as a property scout for RE Investors. I even had lunch in the world Trade Center a week before it went down. Ive been to 45 of the States, but seem to have finally ended up in Idaho. Specifically the Magic Valley for a good 20+ years now. Ive worked at several print shops, managed restaurants, managed retail, was a marketing manager for my bro-in-laws company for 10 years till they sold it. I've been a business owner myself in years past and here we are again, because its the best path to be on.

I hope that what I have to offer, is in someway motivational and helpful in YOUR path.
