Meet Corey!
I want to introduce you all to Corey Butler. Corey is the co-founder of Ecor Group Consulting. I met Corey back in 2004 at Bradley University while working on my undergraduate degree. From the day I met him, he has been the definition of an entrepreneur. I like to think that I get some of my motivation from seeing what he has accomplished over the years through hard work and dedication. So you can imagine what an honor and privilege it was for me to have him agree to mentor me through my entrepeneurial journey.
Corey, like me, is a techie. He is an awesome developer that is still carrying on the Coldfusion torch. He too started many ventures that were solely technology based. However, where I think he has me and many others beat is the way he was able to expand beyond just being a techie with a good application idea. He started Ecor Systems (that evolved to become Ecor Group) back in 2002 part time while still working for a Fortune 500 company. Over the past 8 years, he has gone from doing small business intelligence consulting to creating a legitimate small business catering to all kinds of business, large and small within a variety of industries.
I asked Corey to mentor me because we are alike. We think alike and I stand to learn a lot from him during this journey. If you are interested in learning more about Corey, you can follow him on twitter (@goldglovecb) or check out his personal blog (www.coreybutler.com)
