Founder, NameCoach 07/2012 - current

I founded NameCoach (name-coach.com) to provide an easy-to-use solution to name mispronunciation in a variety of important settings: send a link, gather voice-recordings of people saying their name, and easily learn how to say it right straight from the source. The initial NameCoach service has been used for graduation ceremonies across the United States, and future releases will target much broader markets.
