About Charles Andrew Knox

Heroes and their visions take all forms.\"Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride\"(from Hunter S. Thompson\'s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) became my credo once I read the book in high school. It was/is indicative of HST backhanding New Journalism, pounding it liberally with a meat mallet, seasoning it with epic doses of Wild Turkey 101 and God knows what else, thereby developing Gonzo Journalism. HST\'s interpretation:\"Creating, and being involved in, a situation that may get you in way over your head- but deciding that turning back would be a rather uninteresting option.\" My read on that: Always be prepared to take on the seemingly impossible task - and then own every moment of the experience - good, bad. but never indifferent.That\'s how I got into sales after a dozen years as a PGA Golf Professional. Mark that about 23 years ago. A member of a golf club I worked at offered me a sales position with his company. From there, I have successfully sold ASI marketing products to high-line automobile dealerships (think of a Movado watch with the BMW roundel in place of the moon); specialized in Sony Electronics products, particularly VAIO computers and Hi-Definition Televisions; Hewlett Packard ProLiant Servers, laptop and desktop solutions; Google Ad Words; HomeRun group buying offers, which became Rearden Commerce offers then Deem offers, which touched upon Amazon, Chase Bank, American Express Serve, Nimble Commerce and offers. Whew! Then, a short stint with Groupon. I have been a top producing sales rep in each endeavor.A friend suggested running up that hill with PhoenixNAP, a Tier 3 data center, SOC Type 1 and 2 audited, PCI compliant provider of service that also meets or exceeds requirements for HIPAA, SOX and GLBA. PNAP is a VMWare Premium Service Provider and a Veeam Platinum Partner: Innovative, extremely competitive, price-wise, PhoenixNAP has few peers when it comes to the quality and speed of products and services. I did and succeeded.And then I moved to another arm of the same company, as a Sales Executive with CCBill. Credit Card Processing is truly a bird of a different feather: Incredibly nuanced while at the same time rigid and definable. This part of the The Ride has been phenomenal. I have been managed/mentored by brilliant men and women. My skills have become well-refined and honed. And, as has always been the case, I have accolades and sales numbers to back those statements up, proudly.The Ride Continues. RIP HST!
